It does not recognize the Castle Doctrine

It recognizes the Castle Doctrine with duty to retreat in public

It fully recognizes the Castle Doctrine

Alaska fully recognizes the Castle Doctrine. The Castle Doctrine allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, to defend their homes against intruders. This doctrine is based on the belief that a person's home is their "castle" and they have the right to defend it. It removes the duty to retreat in the face of a threat when inside one's own home. By fully recognizing the Castle Doctrine, Alaska allows residents to protect themselves and their property within the bounds of the law.
