What is the stand-your-ground law in West Virginia?

  1. You must retreat if outside your home

  2. You can use deadly force anywhere you have a right to be

  3. You can only use non-lethal force in public

  4. It applies only during daylight hours

The correct answer is: You can use deadly force anywhere you have a right to be

The stand-your-ground law in West Virginia allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense anywhere they have a legal right to be, without the duty to retreat. This means that individuals are not required to try to flee from a threatening situation before using deadly force to protect themselves. Option A is incorrect as the stand-your-ground law specifically removes the requirement to retreat if outside one's home. Option C is incorrect as it suggests that only non-lethal force can be used, which is not true under the stand-your-ground law. Option D is incorrect as the law does not specify any limitation on time of day for its application.
