Under Louisiana law, when is the use of deadly force justified in self-defense?

  1. Only within one's home

  2. When there is a perceived threat, regardless of location

  3. When there is imminent danger of death or great bodily harm

  4. Only in response to a violent felony

The correct answer is: When there is imminent danger of death or great bodily harm

In Louisiana, the use of deadly force is justified in self-defense when there is an imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. This means that a person can use deadly force to protect themselves if they reasonably believe that they are in immediate danger of being killed or suffering serious injury. It is important to note that Louisiana law does not restrict the use of deadly force just to one's home or in response to a violent felony. It is crucial for individuals to understand these laws to ensure they are acting within legal boundaries when using deadly force in self-defense situations.
