Which of the following correctly describes the 'Castle Doctrine' law in Michigan?

  1. It allows you to carry concealed anywhere

  2. It requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force

  3. It allows deadly force in self-defense within one's home without a duty to retreat

  4. It is another term for the CPL

The correct answer is: It allows deadly force in self-defense within one's home without a duty to retreat

The Castle Doctrine law in Michigan specifically allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense within their own home without a duty to retreat. Option A is incorrect because the law does not pertain to carrying a concealed weapon. Option B is incorrect because the Castle Doctrine removes the duty to retreat in a self-defense scenario, meaning individuals do not have to try to escape before using deadly force within their own home. Option D is incorrect because the Castle Doctrine is a separate law from the Concealed Pistol License (CPL).
