The Castle Doctrine is a legal doctrine that designates a person's abode (or, in some states, any legally occupied place) as a place in which that person has protections and immunities permitting them, in certain circumstances, to use force (up to and including deadly force) to defend themselves against an intruder, free from legal prosecution for the consequences of the force used. It essentially means that a person does not need to retreat if their home is attacked.
