Does Nebraska have a 'stand your ground' law?

Yes, in all cases
No
Yes, but only in one's home
Yes, but it is limited to public places

The correct answer is: Yes, but only in one's home

Nebraska does have a 'stand your ground' law, but it is specifically framed around the "castle doctrine" which pertains to an individual's right to defend themselves within their own home or dwelling. This principle allows individuals to use reasonable force, including deadly force, without a duty to retreat when they believe they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm while inside their residence. While Nebraska does not provide a blanket 'stand your ground' law that applies in all circumstances or explicitly grants this right in public places, it does establish a clear legal framework for protection in one's home. Therefore, the correct understanding of Nebraska's stance is that the law applies specifically to one's dwelling rather than being extended to all locations indiscriminately.
