III. The Bottom Line
Every Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground law has conditions, in general similar to those under the Florida statute, that you will need to show have been satisfied in order to be protected under those laws.

THIS.
You must know and understand your state's (or cities, etc) laws.
And NOT just the statute law, but at least some of the case law.
Virginia has NO statute law covering lethal force (even for the police).
It is ALL CASE (common) law (and we have a whole lot of it), and it is VERY good).
The various state 'gun owner's guides' (Bloom press) are an excellent place to start.
I have multiple states that allow reciprocity for my permit.
There are just enough differences you need to be aware of them in each state (and maybe city) that you plan on carrying in.
