When can a CPL holder legally use deadly force?

To protect personal property
When feeling threatened in any situation
In self-defense when facing an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm
To detain a suspected criminal

The correct answer is: In self-defense when facing an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm

A CPL holder can legally use deadly force in Michigan in self-defense when facing an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. This means that the use of deadly force is justified when there is a reasonable belief that such force is necessary to prevent death or grave bodily harm to oneself or others. It's important to remember that the use of deadly force should always be a last resort when facing a life-threatening situation. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because using deadly force to protect personal property, when feeling threatened in any situation, or to detain a suspected criminal is not justifiable under Michigan law unless there is a direct threat of death or serious bodily harm.
