What is Louisiana's stance on the 'Castle Doctrine'?

  1. It does not apply

  2. You have the duty to retreat

  3. You can stand your ground at home, but not in public

  4. You can use necessary force to defend your property

The correct answer is: You can use necessary force to defend your property

Louisiana follows the 'Castle Doctrine,' which allows individuals to use necessary force, including deadly force, to defend themselves in their homes or vehicles. This doctrine eliminates the duty to retreat before using force in self-defense within one's own dwelling. This stance is reflected in the state's laws, which prioritize the right of individuals to protect themselves and their property in certain circumstances.
