Self-Defense and The Law

Self-Defense and the Law

We are not lawyers at this site. However a few things are clear from the literature in this area. Before you apply your self-defense knowledge get to know the law in your state. (country).

* Self-defensive is allowed when one fears being assaulted with consequences of serious harm or death.
* The level of response must match the threat, not exceed it.
* The person about to take defensive steps has a duty to warn if it would seem to do any good.
* One has the duty to retreat from assault if possible.
* Use force, especially deadly force, only as a last resort.
* If a “victim” uses excessive force they become the aggressor.
* Force becomes excessive when it exceeds that needed to assure one’s own safety
* The more you know about self-defense the more responsible you have to be in control of its application.
