Justifiable homicide is best described as that
moment when an agressor becomes
-
an imminent threat to the life of an innocent
person or
-
an imminent threat of severe bodily harm (meaning
crippling injury) to that innocent party.
-
and the use of deadly force is justified in
self defense and or preventing an attack which is imminent
However this is just a simple summary of the
exact principles that must be learned from the concealed carry course.
Our manual on self defense and justifiable homicide laws covers the law in Kentucky
and the law is similar in other jurisdictions.
At the moment the attack is imminent the citizen by operation of law is justified and excused from the
criminal liability and in Kentucky the civil liability for using deadly force in
self defense.
This requires that the citizen does not use force in anger but
instead is defending himself or an innocent party. Until that moment even the
display of the weapon may cause a conviction for brandishing a weapon,
wanton endangerment, aggravated assault or terroristic threatening. For all of these reasons you
should know the law on concealed carry and justifiable homicide which is more
fully explained in our manual, audio and the members section. To avoid liability and for your own safety
any weapon should be kept holstered and concealed until that moment.
The concealed carry manual and powerpoint can be downloaded just as all of the other law manuals that our office offers on Divorce,
Bankruptcy, Lemon Auto and Personal Injury Cases. Our main website
is
bankruptcy-divorce.com for all of your legal information.
Every situation is different this is for information only and this is not legal
advice.
