I never understood how permissible open carry and stand your ground work together. If I am in a public space and a openly armed person enters. If I asked the person to leave because I feel threatened and am unsure about the persons presence, why can I not use my own gun and kill that person if there is any sign of hostility from that person. Keeping the definition of hostility wide open?Or the same during a protest march. An armed person comes at me because they don’t like my message. I can stand my ground and shoot them. ??
