What is Arkansas’s stance on the 'Castle Doctrine' for self-defense inside one’s home?

It is not recognized in Arkansas
It allows lethal force in self-defense without the duty to retreat
It requires one to retreat if possible
It applies only during nighttime

The correct answer is: It allows lethal force in self-defense without the duty to retreat

Arkansas’s stance on the 'Castle Doctrine' for self-defense inside one’s home is that it allows lethal force in self-defense without the duty to retreat. This means that individuals in Arkansas have the right to defend themselves inside their home with lethal force if necessary, without having to retreat first. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe Arkansas's stance on the 'Castle Doctrine'. Option A suggests that Arkansas does not recognize the 'Castle Doctrine' at all, while option C implies that there is a duty to retreat before using lethal force in self-defense inside one's home. Option D is also incorrect because the 'Castle Doctrine' applies at all times, not just during nighttime. Therefore, option B is the only correct answer.
