So what does that leave for the duty-to-retreat / stand-your-ground debate? At least the "home" aspect of this is often called the Castle Doctrine, on the theory that your home is your castle. and you're in your home, or (in some states) on other property that you own or in your vehicle or in your workplace. This would cover most situations where, for instance, you're facing an attacker who has a gun, since one generally can't safely retreat from a gun. (see above) and you can't retreat with complete safety. Now let's set aside situations where you may use deadly force for self-defense, again regardless of whether you're in a stand your ground state:
