Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” law says you don’t have to run from a confrontation before defending yourself. That is what Rihanna Kelver and her counsel are asking a Laramie judge to consider as they seek protection from prosecution in a felony case stemming from a confrontation outside the Crowbar.
Always good to live in a Stand Your Ground state. It's ridiculous that some states can convict you of felonies for defending your life, just because the judge believed you had the option to run from your attacker. Luckily, that is fewer and fewer states every year.
Edit: From the comments below, sounds like Stand Your Ground isn't relevant in this situation, as she was not being threatened with death or grievous bodily harm. My comment here should therefore be read as a completely standalone item, and not something that is relevant to this article at all.
