- "Deadly self-defense" == "Self-defense that causes a death"
-
- What seems to be your problem with this term?

- What makes you know I'm trying to avoid it, Larry? "Deadly force" expresses
- the concept just fine. I think I might even prefer it.
-
- >(which is true everywhere in the US that we know of),
-
- Where's the disclaimer about just how limited your "knowledge" is, Larry?
- And what's this "we" bit? Is that a royal "we", or are you (both) turning
- schizophrenic on me now?
