(12,778 posts)1. Castle Doctrine is not just about protecting property.
It's about the idea that you don't have to retreat from someone who is threatening you on your property.

(7,720 posts)3. SYG and Castle Doctrine
are distinct laws. SYG applies outside your home, Castle Doctrine applies inside your home.

Not your property being in danger.

SYG and Castle Doctrine are 2 different laws and property doesn't even figure into those laws.
