Under Michigan’s CPL laws, which of the following is an example of lawful self-defense use of a firearm?

  1. Firing a warning shot to scare off a trespasser

  2. Shooting an assailant who is actively threatening your life

  3. Discharging a firearm to stop a fight

  4. Using a firearm to scare someone during an argument

The correct answer is: Shooting an assailant who is actively threatening your life

Firing a warning shot to scare off a trespasser is not considered lawful self-defense because the person is not an imminent threat. Shooting an assailant who is actively threatening your life is considered lawful self-defense as you are defending yourself from harm. Discharging a firearm to stop a fight may not be considered lawful self-defense as it may be seen as using excessive force. Using a firearm to scare someone during an argument is also not considered lawful self-defense as it is not in response to an imminent threat. It is important to note that the use of a firearm should always be a last resort and used only in situations where there is a genuine threat to one's life.
