Answer to Question 1

Answer: A person is entitled to defend his home, family, and property. Generally, defense of the home and family entitles a person to assert the defense the same as if the attack were made personally against the defender. Deadly force is not permitted to defend property. However, some states have statutes where a presumption arises that an attack upon the home is for the purpose of infliction great bodily harm or death upon the occupants. No duty to retreat from the home under what has been called the castle rule. Every man's home, no matter how humble or how grand, is his castle to which he is afforded and entitled peace and solitude. Discuss booby traps, spring guns, and other devices that mete out the indiscriminate use of force regardless of the circumstances (E.g., emergency personnel coming into the home, someone fleeing the attack of another, or taking refuge from a violent storm.)

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The answer must have at least four of the following:
a. Necessity
b. Self-defense
c. Defense of others
d. Defense of home and property
e. Resisting unlawful arrest
f. Consent
