When may force, including deadly force, be used in self-defense in Michigan?

  1. Anytime you feel threatened

  2. Only when you are on your own property

  3. When you reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or sexual assault

  4. Only if the attacker is armed

The correct answer is: When you reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or sexual assault

In Michigan, the use of force, including deadly force, for self-defense is only allowed when you reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or sexual assault. This means that you cannot use force just because you feel threatened, as option A suggests. Additionally, using force is not limited to just your own property, as stated in option B. Option D is also incorrect, as the presence of a weapon on the attacker does not necessarily determine the use of force in self-defense in Michigan.
