What is Alabama's stance on 'stand your ground' laws?

Not allowed under any circumstances
Allowed, no duty to retreat in your own home
Allowed, with a duty to retreat
Allowed, no duty to retreat in any place you have a lawful right to be

The correct answer is: Allowed, no duty to retreat in any place you have a lawful right to be

Alabama allows the use of "stand your ground" laws with the provision that there is no duty to retreat in any place where an individual has a lawful right to be. This means that in Alabama, individuals are permitted to defend themselves with deadly force if they believe it is necessary to prevent death, serious physical injury, or a violent crime, without the obligation to retreat first. This law applies to various locations, not just one's home, making choice D the correct answer.
