What is Alaska's law on the use of deadly force in self-defense?

Prohibited in public places
Allowed with no duty to retreat from any place where a person has a right to be
Only allowed within one's own residence
Allowed after a verbal warning has been issued

The correct answer is: Allowed with no duty to retreat from any place where a person has a right to be

Alaska's law on the use of deadly force in self-defense allows individuals to use deadly force without a duty to retreat from any place where they have a legal right to be. This is known as the "Stand Your Ground" law, which essentially means that individuals are not required to retreat before using force to defend themselves. This law is put in place to give individuals the right to defend themselves in situations where they are facing a threat, without the obligation to first try to escape or retreat.
