How does Wyoming categorize the use of deadly force in self-defense situations outside of one's home?

By the Stand Your Ground law
Deadly force is not justified
Only with a permit
Only if retreating is not an option

The correct answer is: By the Stand Your Ground law

In Wyoming, deadly force in self-defense situations outside of one's home is categorized by the Stand Your Ground law. This law allows individuals to use deadly force without a duty to retreat if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death, serious bodily injury, kidnapping, or sexual assault. Option B is incorrect because under the Stand Your Ground law, deadly force is justified in certain situations. Option C may refer to the requirement of a concealed weapons permit, but does not specifically address the use of deadly force in self-defense. Option D is incorrect because the Stand Your Ground law eliminates the duty to retreat before using deadly force.
