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

When there is an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury
When someone is stealing your car
When someone trespasses on your property
In all of the above situations

The correct answer is: When there is an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury

Deadly force in self-defense should only be used when there is an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury, as stated in option A. Option B is incorrect because the use of deadly force is not justifiable in response to property theft. Option C is incorrect because trespassing on property does not pose an immediate threat to personal safety. Option D is incorrect because it overgeneralizes the situations in which deadly force may be used, and may lead to dangerous and unnecessary outcomes.
