Stand your ground laws are fantastic, the media portrays them poorly because they have an agenda.

They prevent you from going to jail or having to lose your house and rights to fight a several year long court case, if say you gunned down a robber who was trying to get into your kids room. Of if your at a gas station and someone tries to jack your car with a toddler in the back seat...

Many people who have had a legitimate DGU have lost just about everything in states without stand your ground laws and DA's that hate gun owners.

Like any law they can be abused, but that doesn't mean they don't serve a legitimate purpose. Although I think cases of abuse are exceedingly rare.
