There is a newer version of the Nevada Revised Statutes
2014 Nevada Revised Statutes
Chapter 200 - Crimes Against the Person
NRS 200.130 - Bare fear insufficient to justify killing; reasonable fear required.
NV Rev Stat § 200.130 (2014) What's This?
A bare fear of any of the offenses mentioned in NRS 200.120, to prevent which the homicide is alleged to have been committed, shall not be sufficient to justify the killing. It must appear that the circumstances were sufficient to excite the fears of a reasonable person and that the party killing really acted under the influence of those fears and not in a spirit of revenge.
[1911 C&P 130; RL § 6395; NCL § 10077]
