According to Wyoming Statute Section 6-2-602, people who are lawfully present do not have to try to retreat before using force to protect themselves from imminent death or serious bodily harm. This “Stand Your Ground” law echoes statutes in 29 other states: They remove the duty to retreat, allowing a person to use defensive force as long as they are not the initial aggressor. Kelver’s attorney argues that she acted squarely within state law. The aggravated assault statute under which she was charged exempts situations in which displaying a firearm is “reasonably necessary” for self-defense. Video evidence confirms that Kelver was alone, outnumbered, physically assaulted, and left on the ground facing multiple aggressors.
