What is New Mexico's stance on 'stand your ground' laws?

Stand your ground is explicitly allowed by statute
There is no specific stand your ground law, but case law supports it
Stand your ground laws are prohibited
Stand your ground is allowed in one's home only

The correct answer is: There is no specific stand your ground law, but case law supports it

'New Mexico's stance on 'stand your ground' laws is that there is no specific stand your ground law, but case law supports it.' Option A is incorrect because there is no explicit statute that allows stand your ground in New Mexico. Option C is also incorrect because New Mexico does not prohibit stand your ground laws. Lastly, option D is incorrect because stand your ground is allowed in any place where one has a legal right to be, not just in their home.
