Sure, you can be arrested for murder, if the stabbed person dies. You can also be tried for murder. "Self Defense" is a legal defense to a criminal charge of murder.

Self Defense is a defense to a criminal charge and in a criminal trial. It has nothing to do with being arrested.

Yes, you can be charged with carrying and offencive weapon. you will most likely not be charged with murder, but if you were to stab the person 20 times or something that would not be legal force and you may be charged with manslaughter.

How can murder be considered self defense?

Self defense murder is when you kill in the name of self defense. For example- Mrs. Klein is walking down the street with a box a culinary that she has just purchased for her new home with her husband Harold. She is on Milton Ave. when she realized that there is somebody following her. Just when she is about to run, the man attacks her. She thinks fast and pulls out a knife from her culinary box. When the man tries to grab her to take her away to do God knows what, she stabs him. That is self defense murder, because some would call it self defense, and others would call it murder, because of how it would stand up in court. I hope i answered your question!
