Concerns justified use of force and deadly force.

This bill revises New Jersey's laws on self-defense by clarifying when force or deadly force is legally justified. It states that people may use non-deadly force to stop imminent unlawful force without needing to retreat. For deadly force, it allows its use to prevent imminent death, serious injury, or specific violent crimes (like murder or robbery), and explicitly removes the duty to retreat if the person is not committing a crime and is in a lawful location. The bill repeals outdated sections of the current statute (N.J.S.2C:3-4 through N.J.S.2C:3-7) governing these situations.
