Castle Doctrine and Garages

[Roadkill Coyote]

The case that dealt with porches in Colorado may be;

People v. Young, 825 P.2d 1004 (Colo. App. 1991).

IANAL, but as I recall, in Oklahoma the garage counts as long as attached. You have NO duty to retreat.

The car is considered an extension of the home for purposes of a search, as such, I believe it counts the same way with self defense.

True jkominek, but the reason the DA did not press was because the courts had previously ruled that porches were included in the law
