Can Stand Your Ground be used against unidentified people breaking down your door

[Stardust Mirror]

without a warrant?

1. Depends on whether the state has a stand your ground law. MN doesn't.

But you don't have the duty to retreat in your own home.

2. Should be interesting if it happens in Florida.

3. do any blue states have Stand Your Ground Laws? n/t

[Kaleva]

4. What is legal may get you killed

[Stardust Mirror]

7. Damn. Hadn't thought of that.

Even if someone legally shot an unidentified person barging into their home without a warrant, the companions of the intruder would certainly massacre you and yours.

12. Especially if one is talking about ICE

[MineralMan]

5. Maybe.

But don't bet on it.

8. As long as you wear a MAGA hat

These laws only seem to work for conservatives, so if in such a situation, pretend to be a conservative.

9. They're better armed than you, they outnumber you, and they have body armor.

Your chances of surviving the encounter would be very low.
