You must always retreat if possible, regardless of the location
Deadly force cannot be used in self-defense

The correct answer is: You may use deadly force in self-defense with no duty to retreat in your home

Alabama's stance on 'Castle Doctrine' is that you may use deadly force in self-defense with no duty to retreat in your home. This means that you have the right to defend yourself with a weapon, including deadly force, without having to retreat if you are in your home. Option A is incorrect because Alabama does have a Castle Doctrine law. Option C is incorrect because there are situations where retreat may not be possible, and option D is incorrect because Alabama recognizes the use of deadly force in self-defense in certain circumstances.
