The Castle Doctrine is not what allows you to carry in your vehicle, it ts the Motorist Protection Act

I am showing this under the Castle Doctrine

(1) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;

(2) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor's habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;

The requirement to retreat is still removed and the legislation still protects us from criminal prosecution.
Thanks David

Yes, but you were talking about being legal to carry in the vehicle (Motorist Protection Act), not the use of force/no retreat (Castle Doctrine.)
