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.

Yup.

I think the case comes down to: would she have crossed the street if she didn't have a gun?

If she would have crossed the street without a gun, then legitimately not hearing what they said seems valid.

If she wouldn't have crossed the street without a gun, kinda sounds like she wanted a reason to use it.
