In Missouri, when is it legal to use deadly force in self-defense?

  1. When there is an immediate threat to your life

  2. To protect personal property

  3. To detain a suspected criminal

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: When there is an immediate threat to your life

In Missouri, using deadly force in self-defense is only legally justified when there is an immediate threat to your life. This means that if you are facing an armed attacker who poses a significant danger to your life, you have the right to defend yourself with deadly force. Options B and C are incorrect because they do not involve a direct threat to your life. Using deadly force to protect personal property or to detain a suspected criminal is considered excessive and could result in criminal charges. Option D is also incorrect because not all of the options listed are legally justifiable for using deadly force in self-defense.
