Which of the following best describes Michigan's 'Stand Your Ground' law?

You can use deadly force anywhere as long as you are legally permitted to be there
You must retreat if threatened, unless in your own home
You can use deadly force only if attacked in your own home
You must always retreat, regardless of where the attack occurs

The correct answer is: You can use deadly force anywhere as long as you are legally permitted to be there

Michigan's 'Stand Your Ground' law allows individuals to use deadly force anywhere they have a legal right to be. This means that if you are faced with a threat or attack, you are not required to retreat before defending yourself with lethal force, as long as you are in a location where you have a legal right to be present. This law differs from laws in some other states that require an individual to retreat before using deadly force, even if they are in a place where they are legally allowed to be.
