The reason for this is the fact that the would-be criminal might decide to call 911 to report that someone (you) just pulled a gun on him. Generally, the first person to call 911 is the victim.
4. The line between reasonable force and excessive force is very thin where no buffer zone exists.
5. In order to use deadly force against another, the attacker must truly have the ability to kill or cause great bodily harm. This "ability” may come in the form of having a dangerous or deadly weapon or a disparity of force exists between the victim and the attacker. Select all the items below that represent a "disparity of force".
6. The levels of proof are: Mere suspicion, articulable suspicion, probable cause, preponderance of the evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt

12. When attacked by three or more assailants, disparity of force clearly exists. With two against one, it most likely will come down to a judgment call as to whether or not the two attackers represent enough of an overwhelming force to justify the use of deadly force for self-defense. It is important to note that should you disable one of two attackers or two of three attackers, your use of deadly force must generally stop because now disparity of force (force in numbers) no longer exists.
13. Police are not legally liable for failing to protect individual citizens, only the community at large.
