Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground in Nebraska
bullit:
Why exactly is a Castle Doctrine needed in Nebraska ???
To the statute we go ...... Personally, I see no need for a "Castle Doctrine". I would like to see a "Civil Liability Protection" law
28-1409 Use of force in self-protection
4) The use of deadly force shall not be justifiable under this section unless the actor believes that such force is necessary to protect himself against death, serious bodily harm, kidnapping or sexual intercourse compelled by force or threat, nor is it justifiable if:
(a) The actor, with the purpose of causing death or serious bodily harm, provoked the use of force against himself in the same encounter; or
(b) The actor knows that he can avoid the necessity of using such force with complete safety by retreating or by surrendering possession of a thing to a person asserting a claim of right thereto or by complying with a demand that he abstain from any action which he has no duty to take, except that:
(i) The actor shall not be obliged to retreat from his dwelling or place of work, unless he was the initial aggressor or is assailed in his place of work by another person whose place of work the actor knows it to be;

Not true...... In that situation you are able to use force to protect another person, and you have no duty to retreat unless you and the person you are protecting can both escape with complete safety
