Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Safety Course Practice Exam

When is the use of deadly force justified under Michigan law?

1. To protect personal property

2. In self-defense when faced with imminent threat of death or great bodily harm

3. When preventing a shoplifting

4. When the attacker is fleeing

The correct answer is: In self-defense when faced with imminent threat of death or great bodily harm

In Michigan, the use of deadly force is justified in self-defense when faced with an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. This means that if an individual reasonably believes that they are in immediate danger of serious injury or death, they may use deadly force to defend themselves. It is important to note that the use of deadly force to protect personal property, when preventing a shoplifting, or when the attacker is fleeing is not justified under Michigan law.
