Reason Magazine recently published an article comparing “Stand Your Ground” doctrine to “Duty to Retreat.” This includes a chart allowing you to see which doctrine your state follows. It’s carefully described and helpful for those who want to better understand this issue. Title of the article: “3/4 of States Are Now Stand Your Ground; only 12 Are Duty to Retreat: But what exactly do these terms mean?”
We need agreed, not imposed, definitions of terms and phrases. The hallmark of the illiberal is gaining control of the narrative by defining terms for everyone else.
