Under Alabama law, when can you legally use deadly force in self-defense?

Only on your property
When you are in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm
In response to verbal threats
Anytime, if you feel threatened

The correct answer is: When you are in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm

In Alabama, you can legally use deadly force in self-defense when you are in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm. This principle is known as the "stand your ground" law, which allows individuals to protect themselves when facing a serious threat to their life or well-being. It is important to remember that the use of deadly force must be a last resort and proportional to the threat faced. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because using deadly force is not limited to only on your property, in response to verbal threats, or based on subjective feelings of being threatened. Alabama law specifically outlines the circumstances under which deadly force can be justifiably used, with the emphasis on the presence of a real and imminent threat to life or bodily safety.
