He emphasizes avoiding situations, understanding the four elements of self-defense (imminence, proportionality, necessity, not being the initial aggressor), and the distinct burdens of proof in criminal versus civil cases. Freedman also covers crucial post-incident procedures, including limited communication with law enforcement and the prohibition of using deadly force solely for property defense.

This video explains the basic rules of self-defense in Washington State, referencing RCW 9A.16.020 subsection 3. It emphasizes that citizens have the right to use force that is necessary, reasonable, and proportional to defend themselves, others, or property. The speaker, William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, clarifies that 'necessary' means being met with unlawful force or threat, 'reasonable' implies a juror's perspective, and 'proportional' means the force used is no greater than what's required for safety.
