It's not the stand your own ground law that does this.  It's a "Castle Doctrine"  That lets you do this.

Named so after... well a Castle.  If people are invading a castle, and you fight back you aren't the agressor.

AS long as you are in a place you are legally aloud to be you have no duty to retreat first if attacked.


Thats what stand your ground evolved from. It extended the same rights you had in your home to outside of it. That profesor was funny. "Hey george how ya doin?"
