Under Kentucky law, when can force, but not deadly force, be used?

  1. To protect personal property

  2. To prevent a serious crime

  3. In self-defense when life is not threatened

  4. To gain entry into a locked vehicle

The correct answer is: In self-defense when life is not threatened

Under Kentucky law, the use of force, but not deadly force, is only allowed in self-defense when one's life is not directly threatened. This means that options A, B, and D are incorrect as they involve the use of force for reasons other than self-defense. For example, using force to protect personal property or prevent a serious crime would not be considered justifiable under Kentucky law. Similarly, using force to gain entry into a locked vehicle would not be allowed unless there is a threat to one's life. Therefore, the correct option is C.
