What is Wyoming's stance on 'Stand Your Ground' law?

Does not exist
Only in your home
Only in your vehicle
Exists, no duty to retreat in any place you have a legal right to be

The correct answer is: Exists, no duty to retreat in any place you have a legal right to be

Wyoming's stance on the 'Stand Your Ground' law is that it exists with no duty to retreat in any place you have a legal right to be. This means that individuals in Wyoming have the legal right to defend themselves with lethal force if they believe they are facing a threat of death or serious bodily harm, regardless of whether they are in their home, vehicle, or any other place where they are lawfully allowed to be. This law differs from options B and C, which limit the application of the 'Stand Your Ground' principle to specific locations (home or vehicle). Option A is incorrect because Wyoming does have 'Stand Your Ground' laws in place.
