On January 9, 2024, a gunsmith near Rouen was held up by three armed individuals. In fear, the gunsmith shot the robbers and killed one of them. This is where his ordeal began. How will he be able to prove that he was acting in self-defense? What is self-defense? Pierre-Marie Sève, from the Institute for Justice, explains what the law says. @InstitutPourLaJustice ⚠️ As a reminder: A proportionate response corresponds to the fact that the defense must be proportional to the seriousness of the attack, that is to say that the act committed to defend oneself must be equivalent to the act suffered, or conversely avoid the disproportion between the means of defense used and the seriousness of the attack. For example, a neighbor who alerts the police about a disturbance at night and then uses his firearm when drunk individuals approach within a meter of him, after having repeatedly entered his property to commit vandalism and intimidation, uses a proportionate means of defense (Cass. crim. 21/02/1996, n°94-85.108). ???? https://petition.institutpourlajustic... ????
