What is Mississippi's stance on the Castle Doctrine?

It is not recognized
It allows for the use of force in self-defense without the duty to retreat at home
It requires a person to retreat before using force
It applies only outside of one’s residence

The correct answer is: It allows for the use of force in self-defense without the duty to retreat at home

Mississippi's stance on the Castle Doctrine allows for the use of force in self-defense without the duty to retreat at home. This means that a person is legally permitted to use force if they believe it is necessary to protect themselves or their property, without first being required to attempt to flee the situation. Option A is incorrect because Mississippi does recognize the Castle Doctrine. Option C is incorrect because it is the opposite of what the Castle Doctrine allows. And option D is incorrect because the Castle Doctrine applies both inside and outside of a person's residence.
