Frequently Asked Questions

In Illinois, deadly force can only be used if you reasonably believe it's necessary to stop a forcible felony. Crimes like burglary of a vehicle with intent to commit a felony or theft qualify as forcible felonies, potentially justifying the use of deadly force.

What is considered a forcible felony in Illinois related to vehicle theft?

A forcible felony in Illinois, as it pertains to vehicle theft, includes actions like burglary of a vehicle with the intent to commit a felony or the act of theft itself, where individuals break into a car to steal it.

What are the emotional challenges of using self-defense against a minor?

Using self-defense against a minor, especially a young teen, presents unique emotional challenges. While legally justified to protect oneself, the thought of harming a young person who may not fully grasp consequences can be significantly harder to process than against an adult.

Many Kia and Hyundai models are being targeted for theft because they lack essential anti-theft devices, such as engine immobilizers, making them easier for thieves to steal compared to other vehicles.
