What is the purpose of a 'Castle Doctrine' law in Arkansas?

It allows carrying firearms in public areas
It permits the use of deadly force in defense of one’s home
It requires owners to lock their castles
It restricts firearm use to only knights and nobles

The correct answer is: It permits the use of deadly force in defense of one’s home

A 'Castle Doctrine' law in Arkansas permits the use of deadly force in defense of one's home. This means that if someone breaks into your home, you are legally allowed to use lethal force to protect yourself and your loved ones. Option A is incorrect because carrying firearms in public areas is already legal in Arkansas with a concealed carry permit. Option C is incorrect because the 'Castle Doctrine' does not specifically require castle owners to lock their homes. Option D is incorrect because the law applies to all citizens, not just knights and nobles.
