Stand your Ground bill has been introduced in the Minnesota Senate by Senator Carrie Ruud (R - SD 10) as Senate File 13 (SF13) and in the Minnesota House by Representative Lisa Demuth (R - 13A) and Representative Matt Bliss (R - 5A) as House File 131.
This bill, known as Self-Defense Law Reform, or "Stand your Ground", legislation simplifies Minnesota's self-defense law by codifying the 10-12 court cases that interpret our existing statutory law while removing the ridiculous "duty to retreat" concept that requires Minnesotans to retreat from an attacker before defending themselves with force.
This is our Stand your Ground legislation with bill content honed by use of force and legal experts and backed by our years of advocacy experience.
In the prior legislative session, we worked with allies in the Minnesota House to get a roll call floor vote on Stand your Ground, which you can see on our legislative scorecard. These votes are critical as they get legislators on the record and allow us to use their votes for and against them in the next election cycle - particularly if they don't vote our way.
