Wyoming Joins the Majority as “Stand-Your-Ground” State

While avoidance is certainly the best strategy, it is not a legal requirement for a claim of self defense in 36 of our 50 states. The rational is growing.

[O]n Friday, March 16, Wyoming became the 36th state to join the large majority that qualify as “Stand-Your-Ground” jurisdictions, furthering a trend that has been moving in only a single direction for quite a few years.

Thirty-six happens to be the number of states that honor Florida CCW (for credentialed citizens who reside in FL).
