Many states have some form of the "Stand Your Ground" law that most of us learned about only on the night George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. It wasn't invoked during Zimmerman's criminal trial, but it may be at the center of a civil proceeding, if Martin's family chooses to call for one: http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2013/07/15/202418599/stand-your-ground-laws-under-scrutiny-post-zimmerman-verdict
