What is the Alabama law regarding the use of deadly force in self-defense?

  1. It is allowed with no duty to retreat in your home

  2. It is allowed anywhere with no duty to retreat

  3. It is only allowed after retreating

  4. Use of deadly force is not permitted under Alabama law

The correct answer is: It is allowed with no duty to retreat in your home

The correct answer is A. In Alabama, the law allows for the use of deadly force in self-defense without a duty to retreat within your own home. This concept is often referred to as the "Castle Doctrine," which states that individuals have the right to defend their home with deadly force if necessary. This law provides a legal basis for individuals to protect themselves, their families, and their property in situations where they believe they are facing a threat of harm.
