This is not exactly what you’re referencing but I bring it up to show just how complicated things can be: Minnesota recently ruled that you do not have the right to use deadly force if you have the opportunity to escape.

And this is the crucial bit, quoting the article: “The court decided the principle also applies to people who merely use the threat of force — meaning one cannot pull a weapon in self-defense if there are other means to escape, even if the person is threatening them with death or bodily harm.”

That's pretty standard in non-"stand your ground" states (with the possible exception of your own home).

The whole point of "stand your ground" is that you do not have the responsibility to escape.

But again, there's no distinction between brandishing and shooting. The Minnesota law applies both to brandishing and to shooting.
