What is Arkansas's stand on the Castle Doctrine and stand your ground law?

These laws do not exist in Arkansas
You must retreat before using deadly force
You can stand your ground in any place you have a lawful right to be
You can only use deadly force inside your home

The correct answer is: You can stand your ground in any place you have a lawful right to be

Arkansas has a "stand your ground" law which allows individuals to use deadly force when defending themselves in any place they have a lawful right to be, not just in their own home. Option A is incorrect because Arkansas does have these laws in place. Option B is incorrect because, under the "stand your ground" law, individuals do not have a duty to retreat before using deadly force. Option D is incorrect because the law applies to any place a person has a lawful right to be, not just inside their home.
