Which of the following statements is true about the use of deadly force for self-defense in Alabama?

  1. It is always considered lawful

  2. It is never considered lawful

  3. It is lawful when defending oneself inside their home

  4. It is lawful only in public places

The correct answer is: It is lawful when defending oneself inside their home

Using deadly force for self-defense in Alabama is not always considered lawful, as stated in option A. There are certain factors that must be present for the use of deadly force to be justified, including reasonable belief of imminent death or serious bodily harm and a duty to retreat if possible. Therefore, option B is incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as the use of deadly force for self-defense is not limited to just public places, it can also be justified in one's own home.
