Self-Defense

Crushendo defines this key bar prep and torts term.

What does self-defense mean?

self-defense – Just as you can defend others, you can defend yourself when you have an honest and reasonable belief that force is necessary to protect from actual or threatened harm, and you defend with no more force than reasonably necessary. If the aggressor retreats, defense is no longer reasonably necessary.
