What is Vermont's stance on the Castle Doctrine and stand your ground laws?

Vermont has both Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws
Vermont has a Castle Doctrine but no Stand Your Ground law
Vermont has neither Castle Doctrine nor Stand Your Ground laws
Vermont only has Stand Your Ground laws

The correct answer is: Vermont has a Castle Doctrine but no Stand Your Ground law

Vermont has a Castle Doctrine, which allows individuals to defend themselves in their own home, but does not have a Stand Your Ground law. A Stand Your Ground law would allow individuals to use lethal force to defend themselves in public places without a duty to retreat. Since Vermont does not have this type of law, individuals must still follow the general self-defense laws and have a duty to retreat before using lethal force in public places. Option A is incorrect because Vermont does not have a Stand Your Ground law. Option C is incorrect because Vermont does have a Castle Doctrine. Option D is incorrect because Vermont does not have a Stand Your Ground law.
