Stand Your Ground |
New Jersey Self Defense laws
http://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2013/title-2c
Florida's Stand Your Ground Law:
The law strengthened Florida's statutes on self-defense by saying that when faced with death or great bodily harm, individuals could use deadly force and had no duty to retreat. It also says that people defending themselves are immune from arrest, detention and prosecution. (taken from NPR.org news article)
