I will give you a general idea. We have Castle Doctrine here in SC, but Castle Doctrine is not necessarily the same in each state.
In general the Castle laws say that you have no obligation to retreat. They also add protection against civil law suits....that is if the authorities determine you did follow the law. Normally if you have a CCW these protections extend to you while in your car and even on the street.
It's an improvement over previous laws, but like you said if you are being attacked you are not going to worry much about whether you have Castle Doctrine or not.
