‘Stand your ground’ states

Does this encourage escalation of events that might otherwise have been settled without violence?

It makes it a fair fight
If i can't defend myself my family and my property the criminals get embolden and will do more harm

No. More times than not a person acting very aggressive with a knife, club, gun or even threating with hands and feet will not end well for the person defending themselves. There have been many cases where unarmed people have been killed trying to talk the attacker down or avoiding them.

Not necessarily
But combine it with the ability to carry concealed firearms and beung able to keep them in your car

And you have a lot more armed people to tick off

Maybe it keeps people in line.

I don’t like laws based on “feelings “. Both sides do it . The reps have castle doctrine (stand your ground ), and the dems have trans bathrooms and sports . Both are based on “feelings” . (I FEEL threatened. I FEEL like a girl ).

@AthrillatheHunt

How is stand you grounds based on feelings ?????
If you enter my property without permission i have the right to remove you when you won't leave by any force necessary
No feelings involved

@pdockal it’s based on feeling threatened . It doesn’t just apply to home invaders . Feel threatened in a public parking lot ? Blast his ass !

Not a problem
Don't approach me to take my stuff
Otherwise pay the price
Equals the playing field
Consequences to your hostile actions

But don't laws take into account feelings .... intent ??????

no, it adds consequences for people being where they shouldn't...

No that's like finding an excuse to let the perpetrator have his way and get away..
