Reasonable force vs. self defense
In Alabama, self-defense laws state:
- Reasonable force: It refers to the amount of force necessary to protect oneself.
- Self-defense: It means defending oneself when in immediate danger.
The force used in self-defense should be "reasonable" under the circumstances. Consult a local attorney for more information.
Would me hitting someone * more times than he they hit me even though i was attacked first
In Alabama, if you reasonably believe you're in immediate danger, you can use proportional force for self-defense. However, whether hitting someone two more times than they hit you is considered "reasonable" would depend on the specific circumstances. Please consult a local attorney.
