Introduction:

More than half of the states in the United States have adopted the Castle doctrine, stating that a person has no duty to retreat when their home is attacked.

Some states go a step further, removing the duty of retreat from other locations. “Stand Your Ground“, “Line in the Sand” or “No Duty to Retreat” laws thus state that a person has no duty or other requirement to abandon a place in which he has a right to be, or to give up ground to an assailant. Under such laws, there is no duty to retreat from anywhere the defender may legally be.[1] Other restrictions may still exist; such as when in public, a person must be carrying firearms in a legal manner, whether concealed or openly.

Beard v. U.S. (158 U.S. 550 (1895)) that a man who was “on his premises” when he came under attack and “…did not provoke the assault, and had at the time reasonable grounds to believe, and in good faith believed, that the deceased intended to take his life, or do him great bodily harm…was not obliged to retreat, nor to consider whether he could safely retreat, but was entitled to stand his ground.”[2][3]

Former basketball player Sir Charles Barkley stated ““Well I agree with the verdict,” Barkley said. “I feel sorry that young kid got  killed, but they didn’t have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly  went wrong that night — clearly something went wrong — and I feel bad for  anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don’t make it —  there was some racial profiling, no question about it — but something happened  that changed the dynamic of that night.”
