Which of these offer the greatest legal protection generally speaking when confronted with a violent attacker and using a firearm for self defence:

Castle doctrine

Stand your ground

Duty to retreat (included here just to be comprehensive, although I already know it's the weakest)

Both castle doctrine and stand your ground laws vary by state. Effectively they could rank differently on a state-by-state basis.

Too little information to know.

Jurisdiction is the most critical factor.

Yeah I see that now . . .

The U.S is complicated.

Does any retailer sell this for bitcoin?

This is VERY true. Not widely known that laws, privileges vary per jurisdiction and even sub departments and agencies within a jurisdiction. Furthermore, police have no duty to protect, and operate on behalf of their departments, not thr jurisdiction or its constituents

If they have no duty to protect, it seems all the more cruel to deny/obstruct people doing it themselves.

On a related note, isn't there a motto somewhere "to serve and protect"?

So that's just branding and PR?

Yes. Just like doctors and the hippocratic oath. The reality of the US doesn't match people's dreams

I was born in a country almost as violent as Pakistan and several times they pointed a gun at me and the truth is that at that moment you don't have time to do anything else!

I could only deliver my stuffs and they ran away like rats

Right, but did you get fucked in court for doing that is what I'm trying to say?

Sorry, I already understood your question, the law should protect you if they were within your property otherwise I have no idea
