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

There is no such law in Mississippi
Individuals have the right to defend themselves in their own homes
It allows for the use of deadly force in public places
It requires individuals to retreat before using force

The correct answer is: Individuals have the right to defend themselves in their own homes

Mississippi does have a 'Castle Doctrine' law, which means that individuals have the right to protect themselves in their own homes. This includes using deadly force if necessary. Option A is incorrect as it states that there is no such law in Mississippi. Option C is incorrect as the 'Castle Doctrine' specifically applies to the use of force in one's own home, not in public places. Option D is incorrect as it refers to a 'Stand Your Ground' law, which requires individuals to retreat before using force in public places.
