A moral duty to retreat?

NEVER.
Standing your ground when someone is threatening your life, your family, or your property is certainly not immoral.

An ethical duty to retreat?

NEVER.
Standing your ground when someone is threatening your life, your family, or your property is certainly not unethical.

A legal duty to retreat?

Unfortunately, the answer to this one is: MAYBE.
Make sure you know your state laws.
