Clarification on the Castle Doctrine
Not to over simplify, but I was under belief that the Castle Doctrine prevented one from civil liabilites as well as allowing one not to have to retreat before using force/deadly force (providing you have the legal right to be at the location such as your home, car, etc. and force/deadly force is justifiable). I was in renewal class recently and the instructor stated that this law has not been tested and most likely one will be facing a civil lawsuit regardless of the Castle Doctrine. Is he correct?
