When is it permissible to use deadly force in self-defense in Nevada?

  1. Only in your own home

  2. When there is a reasonable fear of imminent harm

  3. In any public place if threatened

  4. Never; non-deadly force must always be used

The correct answer is: When there is a reasonable fear of imminent harm

In Nevada, it is permissible to use deadly force in self-defense when there is a reasonable fear of imminent harm. This means that a person must genuinely believe that they or someone else is in immediate danger of being seriously injured or killed. Option A Using deadly force is not limited to only your own home in Nevada. Options C and D are incorrect because the use of deadly force is not permissible in any public place and it is not always necessary to use non-deadly force first. In this scenario, option B is the only correct answer as it aligns with the self-defense laws in Nevada.
