Should I Stab Gene High On Life?

When It Makes Sense

• Good fit: If you are in immediate danger of serious bodily harm and local law permits self‑defense, a defensive action may be considered.
• Good fit: If you are a law‑enforcement officer or authorized security personnel acting within the scope of your duties and training.

When You Should Avoid It

• Warning sign: If the situation is non‑violent or can be de‑escalated, using lethal force is likely unlawful and unnecessary.
• Warning sign: If you are unsure about the legal justification, any use of force could lead to criminal charges.

Pros and Cons
