Careful, not all states have a castle doctrine, and really you don't want the legal shitshow even in a Castle Doctrine state.
Better to deter than have to deal with that.
I missed the link and didn't know they were talking about government agents... ๐
Can you specify which state? I thought that was fairly ubiquitous. I legit would never live in a state that didn't have castle doctrine. I don't personally agree with states that don't have stand your ground laws, but I can at least stomach that.
Nebraska, Vermont, and New Mexico don't have it, but the exact details of what's covered also vary state to state
A quick search said all states have some version either in the books or through case law.
I don't know if it's ever been tested but I'm sure Castle Doctrine is completely nullified when law enforcement is involved.
