Does West Virginia have a 'stand your ground' law outside of one's home, workplace, or vehicle?

  1. No, retreat is required if safe to do so

  2. Yes, there is no duty to retreat

  3. Only within one's home

  4. It's up to the county to decide

The correct answer is: Yes, there is no duty to retreat

West Virginia does have a 'stand your ground' law outside of one's home, workplace, or vehicle. This means that individuals are not required to retreat from a dangerous situation before using force, and may respond with force if they believe it is necessary to protect themselves or others. Option A is incorrect because it states that retreat is required if safe to do so, but in this case, retreat is not required. Option C is incorrect because it limits the stand your ground law to only within one's home, and option D is incorrect because the responsibility of deciding the applicability of the law lies with the state, not individual counties.
