The correct answer is: It allows deadly force in one's home, vehicle, or place of business

Wyoming's stance on the Castle Doctrine is that it allows the use of deadly force in one's home, vehicle, or place of business. This means that individuals in Wyoming have the legal right to defend themselves with deadly force if they believe there is an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm while in these locations. This law is in place to protect individuals and their property in situations where they are faced with a threat that could result in serious harm or death. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: - Wyoming does recognize the Castle Doctrine, so Option A is not correct. - While some states may have Stand Your Ground laws that allow individuals to use deadly force in public spaces, Wyoming's Castle Doctrine specifically applies to one's home, vehicle, or place of business, so Option B is not correct. - Wyoming's Castle Doctrine does not require a duty to retreat before using deadly force in one's home, vehicle, or place of business, so Option D is not correct.
