Under Florida law, when is it justified to use or threaten to use force, including deadly force?

To protect oneself or others from imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death
When someone insults you
To protect personal property, no matter its value
Whenever you feel threatened, without need for specificity

The correct answer is: To protect oneself or others from imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death

In Florida, it is justified to use or threaten to use force, including deadly force, to protect oneself or others from an imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death. This concept is known as the "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows individuals to defend themselves when facing danger. The law does not extend to situations like when someone insults you or to protect personal property regardless of its value. It is important to remember that the use of force must be proportionate to the threat perceived in order to be considered legally justified.
