OK, I think it may be time for some education and clarification on the history and use of Florida’s misnamed “Stand your Ground” law and the term “Castle Doctrine”.
First a little history, how did Florida’s “Justifiable Use of Force” statute, Chapter 776 in the Florida State Statutes, become referred to as the Florida “Stand Your Ground” (SYG) law? Why if those words do not appear in the statute do we keep hearing it referred to as that?

You have researched and written a this article well but I think you are missing the intent of why this topic is mis characterized. There is a political motivation to spread disinformation or fake news about guns period. Guns used for self defense is the worst an individual could do. To one political ideology we should call the State for help and wait.

Actually if you read it carefully you see where I point out that the naming of it as "stand your ground" or "Castle Doctrine" were done by the media to bring a negative feeling at the law. They used the terms to try and make the public have a negative feeling for the very simple self defense law.

SGT Chris Wagoner yes, I agree. But the media is not a political arm unless you are stating that all objective media is dead.

Although my state has no 'Castle Doctrine', some of us in the hinterlands also have no police coverage, so we just call it the SSS Doctrine.

I wish more people would be self sufficient. Then they would understand the real meaning of being in charge of your own self defense and security. Thanks for the comment!
