Modifies and establishes provisions relating to the use of self-defense

HB 363 modifies self-defense laws to clarify when force, including deadly force, is justified. It removes the "duty to retreat" requirement when defending one's home, vehicle, or private property where the person has a legal right to be. The bill specifies that deadly force is permitted to protect against unlawful entry into a dwelling, vehicle, or occupied private property, or to prevent death/serious injury. It also creates a presumption that a defendant's belief in needing force was reasonable and shifts the burden to the prosecution to prove otherwise in self-defense cases. This directly affects individuals using force in self-defense, particularly in home or property defense scenarios.
