What is Alabama's stance on the 'Castle Doctrine'?

It is not recognized
Individuals have the duty to retreat before using force
Individuals can stand their ground in their home
It applies only during daylight hours

The correct answer is: Individuals can stand their ground in their home

Alabama recognizes the "Castle Doctrine," which allows individuals to stand their ground in their homes without the duty to retreat before using force to defend themselves. This means that in Alabama, individuals have the legal right to use force, including lethal force, to protect themselves from an intruder in their own home without the obligation to attempt to retreat first. This doctrine emphasizes the idea that a person's home is their castle and they have the right to defend it.
