Clo,
Should criminals have the right to bust into your
house and help themselves to whatever they find
inside? (Including your pretty little tush.)

The deadly consequences of ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws

By Mark Hoekstra FEBRUARY 13, 2014

......
So where does that leave us with respect to the Dunn trial, and the broader debate over Stand Your Ground laws? Regardless of the trial outcome, the main damage has been done, and cannot be undone by one verdict or another. But it would be a mistake to ignore the evidence that deadly confrontations like this are more likely to occur as a result of these laws.

So the question people ought to be asking is this: Are the benefits of these laws to actual innocent victims sufficiently large to justify an additional 600 violent deaths per year?
