People believe that this law causes violence and allows people to do so. In an article it states, ¨Shoot First laws, also known as Stand Your Ground laws, give people a license to kill¨. A lot of violence acts are people taking advantage of having that law. In the article it says, Shoot First laws are inherently dangerous because they change the nature of gun violence in a state by encouraging escalations of violence and, according to research, do nothing to deter overall crime.¨

This law can also raise the rate of violent crime in the community.

Having this law causes people to just take action anytime and half of that time people take it further, with that being said another con about this law is that it can lead to an increase in homicide.

This could go either way but I'm leaning more towards protection because if you’re ever in a situation where you have no choice to use force to save yourself, I would use force, but at the same time if someone runs up to you and just starts attacking you and then says “you attacked me first.” is a different situation because if you did nothing but they charge you it just doesn’t make sense.

It technically is protecting because they are allowed to defined and protect themselves against anything. This legislation does allow anyone to prevent themselves from being harmed during the commisson of a crime.

I feel as if i'm stuck  between but I think its also good we can defend ourselves and stand our ground but I feel as if it gets taken out of proportion. I haven´t seen as much pro to this law then con. Protest against this law happens they say its a ¨kill at will¨. Therefore I feel as if it is not a safe law  because it can be taken out of advantage to what i've seen.
