She lost an chance of self-defense when she went to the garage to get the gun and return. Stand Your Ground refers to a specific element, the duty to retreat, that was not a factor in this case.
But that never stopped the Left from claiming that it played a part
correction...I guess she did try to claim “self defense”.
Not dispositive of self-defense. She could have felt threatened, went to the garage to get the gun, just in case, because she was fearful. If he goes after her after that, then it is still self-defense. If she goes after him, now that she has a gun, then it is no longer self-defense.
