Where can you retreat to if you are in your own home? The closet?

My state now has the Castle Doctrine, which gives a person enhanced legal protections when he is in his own home.

Before that, we were a “duty to retreat” state. Years ago, a homeowner shot a guy who was breaking through his house’s front door. The homeowner was convicted of a felony because he was supposed to retreat through the back door.
