About the event
What Are My Legal Rights?“Duty to Retreat
Some states require a duty to retreat before using force of any kind.
Duty-to-retreat laws mean a homeowner must first retreat or attempt to de-escalate the situation before using force. While this can be a useful principle to avoid conflict and bodily harm to either yourself or the aggressor, it’s not always practical.”
“Proportionate Use of Force
In any case involving self-defense, any response to a threat must be reasonably proportionate to the threat. What is considered to be “reasonably proportionate” is highly circumstantial.
Factors affecting proportionate use of force include:
- Presence of a weapon.
- Size and number of threats.
- Size and ability of the homeowner(s).
- Indications of intent, e.g. “I’m going to kill you”.”
