Does Louisiana have a 'stand your ground' law?

Yes
No
Yes, but only outside of one's home
Yes, but only within one's home

The correct answer is: Yes

Louisiana does indeed have a 'stand your ground' law. This law allows individuals to use deadly force to defend themselves without any requirement to retreat first, as long as they are in a place where they have a legal right to be. This differs from the duty to retreat in some states where individuals must attempt to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense. Stand your ground laws empower individuals to defend themselves in threatening situations without the obligation to retreat.
