I think that the law says that you have no obligation to retreat and may stand your ground and use force including deadly force IF YOU REASONABLY BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY TO AVOIND DEATH OR GREAT BODILY HARM.

It does not say that you can shoot another human being simply because you are standing you ground.
