Which of the following best describes Montana's approach to 'Castle Doctrine'?

It allows the use of force in public places
It allows the use of force in defense of oneself and others in their home
It does not allow the use of force under any circumstances
It only allows the use of force if retreating is not possible

The correct answer is: It allows the use of force in defense of oneself and others in their home

Montana's approach to 'Castle Doctrine' is best described by the understanding that it allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, in defense of themselves and others within their home. This principle is rooted in the belief that individuals have a right to protect themselves and their family members from intruders in their own dwelling without the obligation to retreat first. The emphasis on home defense aligns with the core tenets of the Castle Doctrine, which affirms the legal protection for those who act in defense of their residence and the people within it. The alternatives provided do not accurately capture the essence of the Castle Doctrine as it pertains specifically to the home and the inherent right to use force in such situations.
