Section 34-37 Self-defense

Criminal Code CC-S34-37 - The Self-defense Law While the general rule makes an important distinction between the use of physical force and deadly physical force. A person may use physical force to prevent imminent physical injury, however a person may not use deadly physical force unless that person is in reasonable fear of serious physical injury or death to themself or another. Also included a duty to retreat, wherein deadly physical force may only be used if the person acting in self-defense is unable to safely retreat. As discussed above, a person is generally not obligated to retreat if in one's own home (for example, a person doesn't have to retreat from the living room to the kitchen, then to the bedroom, then to the bathroom). "An one in violation of this law will be charged with Murder"
