13. If somebody's trying to abduct you or a family member, surely you'd say self-defense is justified...
I guess I'm concerned with "trying to illegally remove a person"

That's saying that if somebody ELSE is trying to illegally remove a person from your house or car--i.e., they are committing a kidnapping/abduction--you can use potentially lethal force to stop them.

I don't know about you, but if I or my wife see a guy "illegally removing" my son or daughter from our property, or from our car, that guy is going down. Use of force to prevent that is legal in every state that I am aware of, even states that do not have explicit stand-your-ground laws.

This could also apply to carjacking, as I read it, depending on the circumstances.
