The Castle Law in Alabama
Alabama
was another state that recently updated it's castle law legislation. Alabama, like many others, has always had laws providing protection for those using deadly force when protecting your home or at work but recent changes mirrored those already passed in other states when they removed the "duty to retreat" portions of the law.
Duty to retreat in Alabama meant that basically you had the duty to try and run away from the attacker when attacked outside of your home or place of employment. Now you don't. It is best that you monitor any changes to Alabama's
castle law
and also save the official web site of the
Alabama Legislature
to your computer. It is another great resource.
And don't forget, residents of Alabama can also purchase home security
yard signs
and automotive window
decals
so you can alert the public that you are informed and prepared.
