This wasn't a Stand your Ground case at all. It was self-defense and the murky Canadian law of reasonable force would possibly allow for lethal force in the case where you're afraid of having your head smashed into the concrete.
The gun law is fair point. But for proponents of the 2nd amendment, the case where a man defends himself from attacker possibly saving his life because of his gun (if that's how they want to paint this picture) isn't exactly going against their gun beliefs.
