If I recall correctly from my Comprehensive Indiana Firearm Law course, Indiana recognizes disparity of force and it can be claimed under the right circumstances.

Kind of take a Massad with a grain of salt. Remember seeing one of his videos where he talked about safety’s and “Being able to turn on the Killing Machine“

stand your ground state, I think disparity of forse if properly applied is an easier burden to prove.

I would think more important factors might come into play, such as the original aggressor , etc.

Also I would think that disparity of force could be a two way street, Scrawny 18 year old with say a 60 year old body builder. Interesting though.
