Self Defense or Necessity or both?

Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

Someone's gonna need to explain to me how that affects law abiding people who are not in the process of resisting arrest... or some other situation in chapter 9 that I might find myself in.

In all honesty, I do not see how this is a major change to the interpretation of these sections of law.

Where it might affect us is very rare, I think. Use of deadly force is barred in certain circumstances, so it would be impossible to use the necessity defense in those same circumstances. But I am not sure how that could happen.
