Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Standing your ground laws were passed to protect people who refused to run away from criminal threats and instead resorted to using deadly violence to protect themselves for instance by shooting a person who wanted to rob them on the street.

Standing your ground laws make it such that instead of a person claiming self-defense in court, they do not have to be charged to trial at all thereby protecting them from criminal charges.
