In a self-defense shooting situation, Michigan law requires that:

You shoot to wound the attacker
You fire a warning shot first
You can use deadly force without retreating if you legitimately fear for your life
You must retreat before using deadly force, if safely possible

The correct answer is: You can use deadly force without retreating if you legitimately fear for your life

In a self-defense shooting situation, Michigan law follows the Castle Doctrine, which allows individuals to use deadly force without retreating first if they legitimately fear for their life. This means that if you are facing a threat of death or great bodily harm, you are not required to attempt to retreat before using deadly force to protect yourself. This provision emphasizes the idea of self-defense and protecting oneself in dangerous situations.
