Stand Your Ground

For John, BLUF:  Regular folks being ignorant of the law is not as scary s lawyers being ignorant of the law.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

A quick Look at Stand Your Ground Laws

This is a blog post at InstaPundit, by Professor Gail Heriot, 8 April 2020.

“STAND YOUR GROUND” LAWS:  Former Attorney General Eric Holder has argued that “Stand Your Ground” laws are a dangerous new innovation in the law.  But as I explain in my dissenting statement to the Commission on Civil Rights’ new report,  “Stand Your Ground” laws are new only if Lord Coke’s Institutes of the Lawes of England (1669) is your idea of new.

It we all understand the right to stand ones ground then the need for it will be greatly diminished.  Or we could be like Chicago.
