Criminal defenses In the UnitedStates , the Defense legal defense of self defense allows a person to use reasonable force in his or her own defense or the defense of others see the self defense theory theoretical background for why this is allowed . While the definitions vary from state to state, the general rule makes an important distinction between the use of non deadly and deadly force. A person may use non deadly force to prevent imminent injury, however a person may not use deadly force unless that person is in reasonable fear of serious injury or death. Some states also include a duty to retreat exceptions include Louisiana and Florida , when deadly force may only be used if the person is unable to safely retreat. A person is generally not obligated to retreat if in one s own home in what has been called the Castle doctrine castle exception from the expression A man s home is his castle . Runyan v. State 1877 57 Ind. 80, 20 Am.Rep. 52, is one of the earliest cases to strongly support and establish in U.S. law an individual s right to initiate self defense actions up to and including the justifiable use of lethal force against an aggressor. In Runyan , the court stated When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force, and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his assailant is killed, he is justiciable.
