Stand-your-ground laws are colloquial names given to laws that protect citizens’ rights to defend themselves using deadly, physical force under specific circumstances. Arizona’s 'stand your ground' law is defined in Arizona Revised Statute §13-405 and grants the right for an individual to use self-defense 'When and to the degree a reasonable person would believe that deadly physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly physical force.'
