  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in one's residence

  4. Only outside one's residence

The correct answer is: Yes

Louisiana does indeed have a 'stand your ground' law. This means that individuals are not required to retreat if they feel their life is in danger and can use deadly force to protect themselves, without having a duty to attempt to retreat first. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all mention limitations to the 'stand your ground' law. Option B is incorrect because Louisiana does have a 'stand your ground' law, as mentioned before. Option C is incorrect because Louisiana's law extends beyond just one's residence. Lastly, Option D is incorrect because the law also applies inside one's residence, not just outside.
