Castle Domain Doctrine

Referred to as the "castle domain law," changes in state law in the summer of 2006 mean that a resident can almost always assume a person breaking into his or her home means to cause harm.

"If someone comes up on the dwelling or the premises, with the intent to commit a felony, the presumption (is) that they are there to cause death or serious bodily harm," Adams said. That "gives the owner, the person that is there, the presumptive right to use deadly physical force or physical force to repel any attacker or any invader."
