1. In any prosecution for an offense, it is an affirmative defense
   that the defendant engaged in the proscribed conduct because he was
   coerced to do so by the use or threatened imminent use of unlawful
   physical force upon him or a third person, which force or threatened
   force a person of reasonable firmness in his situation would have been
   unable to resist.

   is not available when a person intentionally or recklessly places
   himself in a situation in which it is probable that he will be subjected
   to duress.
