| current | 10:09, 2 February 2022 | | 959 × 593 (77 KB) | wikimediacommons>MrThunderbolt1000T | Previous revision by Eugene Volokh has been changed to reflect that Wisconsin is a middle-ground state. Washington D.C. does not require duty to retreat, but duty to retreat is specifically exempted when defending oneself in the home, and juries can consider duty to retreat outside the home. Upon reviewing WS 939.48, Wisconsin law is virtually similar to that in D.C. I will be sufficiently editing the Wikipedia page for "stand-your-ground law" to reflect this. |
