Bragdon has a point. Imagine he picked up a gun offered to him, or previously dropped by a companion, to defend himself is he not entitled to use the "stand your ground" defense?
and just how did you come to that conclusion?
from the linked story, never just picked up a gun but fired frrom a car and shot a person in the back
At some point, Bragdon leaned out the window of his car and shot — striking one of the patrons in the back and hitting a truck twice, the report said.
Bragdon argued that he fired the gun while trying to defend himself and sought to get the charges dismissed under "stand your ground."
