A look at Hawaii's self-defense laws -- KITV News- ABC: Hawaii laws state deadly force is only allowed when a person believes it is the only way to prevent death, serious injury, kidnapping, rape or sodomy.
"If you can safely retreat, you don't have the right to use deadly force," said attorney William Harrison.
"In Hawaii, you are not required to safely retreat when you are threatened in your home or workplace."
"If someone breaks into your home in the middle of the night, you don't know what they have in their hands, and they are an aggressor you may be entitled to use deadly force," said Harrison
