Under New Mexico law, when is it permissible to use deadly force?

  1. To protect personal property

  2. In self-defense or defense of another from great bodily harm

  3. When threatened with verbal insults

  4. To stop a theft

The correct answer is: In self-defense or defense of another from great bodily harm

Deadly force can only be used in self-defense or defense of another when someone's physical life is in imminent danger of great bodily harm. This means that options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve an immediate threat of physical harm. Using deadly force to protect property, in response to verbal insults, or to stop a theft is not permissible under New Mexico law.
