Castle Doctrine
The Castle Doctrine is a legal principle derived from English Common Law that gives individuals the right to use force, including deadly force, to protect themselves against an intruder in their home. This doctrine essentially states that a person's home is their castle, and they have the right to defend it without the duty to retreat first, under certain conditions depending on jurisdiction.
