[HOLY S**T!] Stand your ground law - Valid or Not????

Wait, so he stepped on to someone elses property claiming that he was standing his ground and defending himself? These guys weren't on his property?

That's automatic disqualification. Either way these things can be avoided not just by the guy with the gun trying to 'stand his ground' but the other person as well. If the other guy has a gun, walk away. It's a two way streak. If it was me, as soon as that guy was talking about "standing his ground", I would've ran back into my house. I don't have a gun myself so why push it.

It's not vague at all. You can't initiate a confrontation, and claim self-defense. Stand your ground, is for the other person. Problem is, dudes think the purpose is that under any circumstances, in a confrontation, you're allowed to use deadly force. Not if u initiated it tho! This case is open & shut to me, you can't show up at another person's house, make demands, flash a gun, and shoot somebody!

I support the 2nd Amendment to the fullest but I believe he went overboard if someone breaks in your home and you kill the intruder is one thing but going out and do what he did is uncalled for that's what cops are here for.
