Maybe, however that’s incredibly hard to tell, like a woman shot and killed another person who was trying to get their kids iPad back that she stole; and they claimed stand your ground law

To replace with what? A duty to retreat? Are you proposing that if someone breaks into your house, all you can do is lock yourself in your bedroom and wait as they take everything?

That would mean you are in a case where you can defend yourself, as they are taking your property and endangering you, stand your ground laws make even the slightest amount of aggravation can be returned by gunfire

This bill seems unclear and vague, as well as uneeded

It’s to ensure stand your ground laws never occur, so I see it as a need
