I live in Southern Oregon and was trying to get info on what exactly is the law in Oregon about the castle doctrine. Here is what I found at this site. "Oregon is not a Castle Doctrine state and does not have a stand-your-ground law".
I understand what the Castle Doctrine is, I just don't know what it means if my state is not a Castle Doctrine state.
If Oregon is NOT a Castle Doctrine state, and does NOT have a stand-your-ground-law, then what does that mean for me. I was always under the impression that when confronted in or out of your home you DID NOT have to make an attempt to get away and you are allowed to stand your ground.
I just found and joined this site and forum so forgive me if this sounds like a dumb question.
