briandg, the key phrase in your posted law is:
Quote:
|
use physical force upon another person when and to the extent he or she reasonably believes such force to be necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person from what he or she reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful force by such other person,
|
What you or I reasonably believe is not necessarily the same, or what a jury of your peers would believe. Coming to the conclusion that lethal force is necessary and justified is not as clear as some would like to believe, especially when all the facts are not known.
