What is South Dakota's stance on 'Stand Your Ground' law?

  1. There is no 'Stand Your Ground' law

  2. It’s only applicable inside one’s residence

  3. It applies both inside and outside of one’s residence

  4. It only applies to public places

The correct answer is: It applies both inside and outside of one’s residence

South Dakota’s stance on the 'Stand Your Ground' law is that it applies both inside and outside of one’s residence. This means that a person has the right to defend themselves with deadly force without the duty to retreat, regardless of where they are located, as long as they are lawfully present. This stance gives individuals the legal right to protect themselves without having to retreat if they feel threatened, which is an important aspect of self-defense laws.
