What does Utah's Castle Doctrine law allow?

The use of deadly force in self-defense without retreating
Carrying a concealed weapon anywhere in the state
Unlimited purchase of firearms
Shooting an intruder without warning

The correct answer is: The use of deadly force in self-defense without retreating

Utah's Castle Doctrine law allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense without the duty to retreat when they are in their home or any other place where they have a legal right to be. This means that if an individual reasonably believes that deadly force is necessary to prevent death, serious bodily injury, rape, kidnapping, or forcible sexual abuse against themselves or another person, they can use such force without first attempting to retreat. This law is in place to protect individuals who are defending themselves in their own homes or properties from imminent harm.
