Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risks of following a hit-and-run driver?

How does self-defense apply in a road rage scenario?

In a road rage scenario, self-defense applies when there is an immediate threat of harm. The focus shifts from who caused the initial incident to who is posing a danger in the present moment. Justifiable use of force is determined by the immediate threat, not past actions.

What are the legal consequences of using a firearm in self-defense after a traffic incident?
