Well, Kentucky always has had the concept of self defense. Not sure of how it is in Western Kentucky, but in Eastern Kentucky, the castle doctrine does not add anything.
For example, if you drove into my mother-in-law's yard after dark, she took her shotgun and let off at the car. Whenever we were going to be late in getting there, we always called to let her know.
If you tried to walk into the yard from the road, the dogs would always alert her. (The dogs always liked my wife. One day I was rough housing with my wife and one of the dogs started growling. I stopped.)
