We dont have the duty to retreat law in Louisiana. We have the "stand your ground" law here.

Plus the duty to retreat law is very broad. Alot of judges find that there is no duty to retreat when in a place you have the right to be. Such as your own home, or public property. And if you didnt have the right to be there, then you have a whole other set of problems.

Again, that is just a judges interpretation. Who knows how your judge will see it, but Im sure you have heard the old saying. Better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six.
