If no law applies to you, murder is legal. American military contractors are not covered by US Military Law or Iraqi law.
If you are in Blackwater, you are above the law. |

'Murder is the unlawful killing of another human person with malice aforethought, as defined in Common Law countries', so simple answer is never. self defence isnt called murder, u cn legally kill people but it isnt called murder. |

you can't its illegal. BUT depending on your size, and weight, as well as the situation, you can KILL for self defence. Or if you work for the gov't. Thats here in America, dont know about other countries.... |

Hmmm...
it's became legal when you murder someone in a "carok" (like gladiator fight) on "madura island" (part of indonesia).
They always settle their dispute one on one. |

it is never legal to 'murder'
Although in the state of Texas you can shoot someone on your property if they are being threatening to you or your family.
If they die you legally 'killed' them in self defense. But it is not murder
murder is illegal |

In the event that it is self preservation or a home invader. are you in some kind of trouble? Maybe you should contact your local law enforcement before it gets out of hand. |

If you're fighting their country at war I guess but they would probably call that an assassination, other than that its never legal to murder someone |
|

errr it's not. Unless you are thinking of Euthanasia in which case it is not murder |

in self defense and the conditions vary by state. in some defense of others and public is allowable as well.

I believe if you are defending yourself from loss of life, bodily harm protection of loved ones or see an act being committed against some one I believe the term becomes justifiable homicide. |

It is different if someone is tormenting you and you need to defend yourself. If you kill somebody for no reason then it is considered murder. In a movie I seen a lady kill someone in self defense and get sentenced. Could you be charged with murder if you had to kill someone in self defense? Again ,that is a legal time where you can kill somebody. |
