What defense does Alabama law provide for using deadly force for self-defense?

Stand Your Ground
Duty to Retreat
Self-Defense Act of 2006
Castle Doctrine

The correct answer is: Stand Your Ground

In Alabama, the correct defense for using deadly force for self-defense is the "Stand Your Ground" law. This law allows individuals to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to defend themselves without having a duty to retreat first. This means that if someone is in a situation where they feel their life is in danger, they can stand their ground and use necessary force to protect themselves. The other options are not the correct defenses for using deadly force for self-defense in Alabama: - Duty to Retreat requires individuals to first attempt to retreat from a dangerous situation before resorting to using deadly force. - The Self-Defense Act of 2006 is not a specific defense but rather a law that provides guidelines and protections for individuals who use force, including deadly force, in self-defense. - The Castle Doctrine typically allows individuals to use deadly force to defend themselves in their own homes, but it is not the defense specifically applied for self-defense situations outside the home in Alabama.
