    Under this philosophy; citizens residing within states that have the castle doctrine would legally be protected from vampires while in their motor vehicles?

      Motor vehicles? Castle doctrine is about overriding the usual limitations (around what’s reasonable use of force) on the right to self defence if you’re in your home. Cars don’t come into it.

      Some places also extend the same protections that castle law provides to your home to your car, but that’s separate from castle doctrine itself.

        I didn’t realize the car bit was separate, I assumed it was the difference between stand your ground and castle doctrine.

          Yeah true “stand your ground” is anywhere, or at least anywhere public. Not sure if it applies in private spaces that aren’t your own.
