What you are not sure about will not go very far at all toward convincing anyone that your belief that deadly force had been immediately necessary to protect yourself against an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm, or to prevent a forcible felony, had been reasonable.Posted by Nocturnus31: Push them away, draw and fire. They are committing a felony act against me and I am not sure whether they are going to kill me after they get what they want.
Not according to the law.The BG signed his rights away as soon as he threatened me.
Let us hope that, should that happen, you are able to introduce sufficient evidence to support a successful defense of justification.Next person that tries to rob me is getting shot at.
In a situation in which the evidence available after the fact is ambiguous, your having made that statement could help bring about your conviction.
