This article concerns the question of the use of deadly force in situations of self-defense. The following are the laws regarding the state of Nevada that I built directly from its official website at: http://www.nv. Gov To find your status on the website, you must enter the address (www. Yourstatesabbreviation . Governor) in the Web browser with the two letter abbreviation for your state between the www. e. gov.
Now I am not a lawyer, soPlease do NOT consider this to be legal advice, which-so-ever. This is possible only by a lawyer qualified and licensed professional in the State of residence, in particular, the laws of the State, that the act by deadly force in self-defense situation.
For example, we are facing, they say, with the following situation. They go by car after a hard day's work, when all of a sudden you see a human being to you. He comes to you, and here is atranscription, what is happening:
Note: The letter "A" stands for attackers and the capital "Y" is for you.
A. Hey man, took the money can you save?
Y. Sorry, I just got to work and I did not pay until Friday.
A. (a knife) moves Give me your wallet man, or I'll kill you.
Y. BAM BAM (Insert your favorite technique or procedures here.) Striker
now lying on the ground dead, while in the car and called the police.
Here arethe laws in this particular situation, as defined by the law of the State Nevada.
NRS 200.120 "Authorized Murder" defined. Justifiable murder is the killing of a human need for surprise in defense or in defense of home, property or person against one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or to commit a crime, or against the person or persons who intend to demonstrate and try to in a violent, boisterous, storm, or enter a back door forthe dwelling of another for the purpose of attacking or offering personal violence to any person or lives there.
OPINION:
Since the attacker not only threatened with a deadly weapon (knife), he verbalized his intention to kill if you do not do what he did for him was his wallet. That is clearly a contact person in reasonable fear for his life, justify the use of lethal force would be.
NRS 200.130 Bare anxietyare not sufficient to justify the killing, fear reasonable request. A bare mention of the fear of crime in NRS 200.120, to prevent the murder is alleged to have committed is not sufficient to justify the killing. It is clear that the circumstances were sufficient to arouse fears of a reasonable person, and that the party killing really acted under the influence of these fears and not in a spirit of revenge.
OPINION:
Only the fear thatsomeone could do something, does not justify the use of deadly force. For example, if the boy went on you saw with a knife and does not necessarily mean you can use the right of lethal force against him. For all you know that can have a master of sushi, which was just home from work and was tired and wants to go home. There must be certain criteria, would a reasonable person to believe that his life was in danger.
NRS 200.160 Additional cases of justifiableManslaughter. Homicide is also justifiable when committed:
1. In the murderess legitimate defense or his husband, wife, mother, son, brother or sister, or any other person in his presence or company, if a sufficient ground to capture a theme for the role of the person killed to commit a crime or make a great personal injury for the murderess or that person, and there is the danger of such a project is implemented, or
2. Effective resistanceattempting to commit a crime for the murderess in his presence, or on or in an apartment or elsewhere in the apartment where he is.
OPINION:
You are lawfully in dealing with deadly force to prevent what a reasonable person would believe to be justified and serious personal injury or prevent a crime they have committed themselves or another person.
In this case, you are defending your life and your property right (the wallet and its contents) by an attackerCommitting an offense Armed Assault verbalized his intention of killing you, except in accordance with his wishes.
NRS 200.200 Killing in self-defense. If a man kills another in self-defense must prove that:
1. The danger was so urgent and pressing that, in order to save life or to prevent its taking great bodily harm, the killing of others was absolutely necessary, and 2 A person was killed, the author, or that 'murderess really was, andGiven any good faith effort to make further efforts before the fatal blow to fall.
OPINION:
It was the danger of urgency in this example? Well, we were faced with an armed attack and threatened, killed, if not surrender his wallet. So you could make the argument that yes, she was in some cases very dangerous and urgent.
You could disarm the attacker without lethal force? Again, this could be a possibility, depending on the numberVariables, including their capabilities.
NRS 200.275 Justifiable infliction or threat of non-injury offense. In addition to all other circumstances recognized as a justification to the common law, the infliction or threat of injury to justify and not murder, battery or assault, if it is done in circumstances that justify the murder.
OPINION:
Take, for example, which does not kill the attacker, but only say the back and brokeparalyzed down the entire lifespan. Under the law, if you are killing the attacker, but it is not justified, then all the power is properly used against him is justified.
However, once the attacker is no longer a threat. They are legally obliged to stop their attack. For example, if you have broken the arm of your attacker, and he is no longer able or willing to hold the knife, are not justified to break his other arm and legs.
NRS 193.165 AdditionalPunishment: The use of deadly weapon or tear gas in the commission of a crime.
5. As used in this section, "deadly weapon" means:
(a) any instrument which, if used in the usual way, the proposals
Design and construction, or will cause substantial injury or
Death;
(b) All arms, equipment, tools, materials or substances
Circumstances in which it is used, attempted to be used or threatened to
is used, it can readilycause significant damage or death, or
weapon (c) A dangerous or deadly specifically described in NRS 202.255, 202.265, 202.290, 202.320 and 202.350.
OPINION:
A knife is considered a deadly weapon, and when you use the example, lends legitimacy to the use of deadly force by the victim. If the same situation took place, and the striker did not have a weapon, it would be much more difficult to justify the use of deadly force. Even with the attacker to verbalize thatkill you. Of course, every situation is different and unique, which is justified in a situation that can not be in another.
Something that must be considered is the value of what the attacker wants with regard to your life and / or that of another. Is your life really worth the contents of the portfolio? On the other hand, someone has the right to come to threaten your life and take from that what is it? This is something that is too lowreflected by each person to discover for himself what is best for you.
Finally, I stress that should be avoided at all times and try potentially dangerous or violent situations. However, if you can not always use only the power that is necessary for a given situation. Remember, every situation is markedly different and what might be able to work in a situation wholly inadequate to be another advantage. Always triesUse your brain before muscles.
One final thought, although it may be completely right, it can still be found for the civil and criminal charges. I recommend that you should have a defense attorney for the owner only in the case. Especially if you are in a profession where one of physical violence as part of your work, such as the use of a police officer, correctional officer, security guards, janitors, etc.
