Original Note:
To use a self-defense claim, one must "reasonably believe they are in immediate danger of imminent death, bodily injury, or serious bodily harm." It is not a defense to merely feel threatened. It is not a defense if your belief of danger is not reasonable. https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-law-basics/self-defense-overview.html
