Thank you both, everything your suggesting is helping. I agree that more dojos should add this sort of thing to their curriculum's. When to use Martial Arts, is just as important as the How. I still would like to find someone on this forum who has a law background that could assist me with this task. Reading legal documents on my State's law website is not simple at all. Perhaps someone can steer me in the right direction or provide me with some answers to my questions about self defense.
