castle doctrine
definition: The Castle Doctrine is a common law theory of justification, which allows an individual to use reasonable force, up to deadly force if necessary, to defend self or others in the home against the attack of intruders. The American-based theory of Castle Doctrine can be traced back to early English common law. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Housing; Castle Doctrine]
