No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law

While the PPC has not explicitly called for a national 'stand your ground' law, their platform emphasizes the importance of self-defense and protecting one's property. They may be open to such legislation, but it is not a central part of their platform.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

However, given their general opposition to more restrictions on gun ownership, they may not be in favor of closing this loophole, as it could be seen as an additional burden on law-abiding citizens.
