Hey folks,
Time to get your internet warrior lawyer pens out.
I was reading Oregons Use of Force laws (I read law for fun, I know I'm weird) and I came across where it was permissible to use deadly force in 3 instances when defending a premisses that you are in possession or control of.
The part in question is "or a felony by force" I could assume that this would mean felony assault, rape and the like. However, I tried to cross reference the phrase "felony by force" and came up with little other than a couple other states that have a similar phrase. It seems that it is a coined phrase but I had little success finding it used for context or used where it lists a definition of the phrase. I'm looking for a meaning and or what kinds of felonies apply, what felonies do not apply.
Anyway, if you have any instances where this phrase has been used in someones defense that would be great but if you would just like to articulate that's cool too.
