I guess my question before i give an answer is what does the current law mean in the confines of your home

If someone breaks in to my home at night and I'm standing face to face and ask them to get out and they don't or move forward is that enough to cover the retreat

If I hear a burglar and I come out with a gun (cuz truth be told I don't know if they have one) and I say freeze and they don't does that cover retreat?

Or in those scenarios do I need to try to retreat out of my own home and then if they follow then I can defend?

In you’re home you basically have stand your ground rights. You can’t retreat to a safe location if you’re already in the safest place you can be
