What is Idaho's stance on the 'Castle Doctrine'?

It does not recognize the Castle Doctrine
It has a limited Castle Doctrine
It fully supports the Castle Doctrine for self-defense in one's home
It applies the Castle Doctrine only outside of one’s home

The correct answer is: It fully supports the Castle Doctrine for self-defense in one's home

Idaho's stance on the 'Castle Doctrine' is to fully support the concept for self-defense within one's home. The Castle Doctrine allows individuals to use reasonable force, including lethal force, to protect themselves against intrusion into their homes, especially when they believe they are in imminent danger. This legal framework is rooted in the idea that one's home is a place of safety, and individuals have the right to defend that space without the obligation to retreat. The doctrine emphasizes the right to personal safety and the sanctity of the home, allowing homeowners to take decisive action against aggressors. Idaho's laws reinforce this by providing clear protections for individuals who act in defense of their home, affirming their right to feel secure from threats. In doing so, Idaho positions itself strongly in favor of residents' rights to protect themselves and their families from harm.
