What is Mississippi's stance on the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground law?

It recognizes both doctrines
It only recognizes the Castle Doctrine
It only recognizes Stand Your Ground law
Neither doctrine is recognized in Mississippi

The correct answer is: It recognizes both doctrines

Both the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground law are recognized in Mississippi, providing immunity from criminal and civil liability to those using reasonable force in self-defense within their home (Castle Doctrine) or any place where he or she has the lawful right to be (Stand Your Ground law). Options B and C are incorrect as they only mention one of the doctrines and Option D is incorrect as both doctrines are recognized in the state. It is important for residents of Mississippi to understand the specifics and limitations of these laws in order to use them appropriately in a self-defense situation.
