Duty to retreat means you have to retreat first. Stand your ground means you don't have to even try and run.Louisiana is also a SYG state. There isn't as much of a difference between a SYG state and a NSYG state as you may think. Basically a duty to retreat simply means if you can safely retreat and avoid a confrontation before coming to blows than as far as laws regarding self-defense that is your legal obligation.
Rhode Island is not a SYG state. Just for the sake of example let's say I'm in the parking lot at WalMart and I risk a confrontation with someone I bump into and I say "peace bro" and walk away to defuse the situation, than I've fulfilled my duty to retreat. If the person still comes after me and I take measures to defend my self and stop the attack, then I can testify in court that I tried to defuse the situation and used reasonable force.
Reasonable force: That's another concept that Josh can't seem to grasp. You are not allowed to use deadly force against a simple trespass. If I walk down the street for example and wave hi to Josh and he shoots me like he has threatened to do, he can go to jail for murder or assault with intent to commit murder. In other words you are allowed to defend yourself with roughly the same degree of force that your attacker uses.
Stand your ground>>>>>duty to retreat.
