When is it legal to use lethal force in self-defense in Michigan?

Anytime you feel threatened
Only when facing an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm
To protect personal property at any cost
Whenever you are carrying a concealed weapon

The correct answer is: Only when facing an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm

In Michigan, it is legal to use lethal force in self-defense only when facing an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that one can use lethal force at any time they feel threatened, but this is not the case. Option C is incorrect because it implies that one can use lethal force to protect personal property, which is not allowed in Michigan. Option D is incorrect because it implies that simply carrying a concealed weapon grants the right to use lethal force, but this is not the case. The use of lethal force must always be in response to a direct, imminent threat to one's life or safety in Michigan.
