Shoot First laws allow a person to use deadly force in a confrontation without any duty to retreat, even when they can do so safely.
Shoot First laws allow a person to kill another person in a public area, even when they could have clearly and safely de-escalated the confrontation by retreating, upending traditional self-defense law.2See, e.g. Fla. Stat. §776.012(2). Under traditional self-defense law, a person can use force to defend themself anywhere and at any time. When they are outside their home, however, they cannot use force that is likely to kill or seriously injure someone if there is a safe way to avoid it.3Fran...

Shoot First laws were created by the gun lobby to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
People with a legitimate reason to defend themselves are already fully protected under traditional self-defense law. What’s more, research shows that the average person is extremely unlikely to ever be in a situation where they would need to use a gun to defend themself in the first place.20David Hemenway and Sara J. Solnick, “The Epidemiology of Self-Defense Gun Use: Evidence from the National Crime Victimization Surveys 2007–2011,” Preventive Medicine 79 (October 2015): 22–27, https://doi.o...
In 2005, Florida adopted its Shoot First law. This law is the blueprint for the Shoot First laws subsequently passed in dozens of states. It has garnered significant media attention and has been extensively studied.21Florida’s Shoot First/Stand Your Ground law specifically eliminates the requirement that a person retreat before using deadly force i...
Traditional self-defense laws are sufficient to allow people to be safe and to value the lives of others, even in potentially dangerous situations. We must stand our ground if only to reject proposals that give people a free license to shoot and kill.
