What Is the Indiana Stand Your Ground Law?

The Stand Your Ground Law, also called the Castle Doctrine, says that you have the right to defend yourself in your own home with a weapon, even by deadly force.

You do not have the duty to retreat if you are defending an attack on your home or occupied vehicle.. You do not have to show that you reasonably believed the person would have hurt you or someone else.

The proof of the threat is that the person illegally entered or attacked your home. The doctrine only applies to your home and the attached property, or your occupied vehicle.

If someone attacks your unoccupied car, deadly force would not be justified because there is no threat of harm to a person.

hey neat it applies to cars? apply to beech grove situation. abuser who shot says i was standing my ground, they entered w o warant. (i do not know exact facts)

motoirist stops, reasonablyt     suspects police are trying to steal his car, overreacts, uses force, officers overreact, motorist then uses deadly force in self deffense
