IMO "no duty to retreat" is a far better way to state the same idea as "stand your ground" : Most people don't like the idea of the law forcing you to run away, especially when running away could put you in further danger.

Yeah, I know "running away" isn't precise, but it's a easier to get the point across to those ruled by emotion.
