Depends on the state, in South Carolina castle doctrine extends to an occupied vehicle and place of business. But of course only under threat of death or great bodily harm, so it wouldn't work here anyway.

I suppose, I was referring to places like a driveway or the yard.

After the rash of shootings where people were being shot at for parking at the end of a driveway or ringing the doorbell, all the gun fanatics started thinking they could shoot people indiscriminately, just for being on the property.

Around here, it seems like they never got the memo that, thats not the way it works. I have neighbors here in texas posting on nextdoor about how they've got guns and anyone who opens the gate to the yard or is going door to door, ignoring the no soliciting sign, is gonna get bullet in the bunghole*.

*yes, a bunghole is a part of a wine barrel, or whatever, and not someone's rear.
