In my opinion a person is alowed to defend him/herself with lethal force if that person is in inniment danger. If someone points a gun towards my family, I as sure as hell would not take any chances. A criminal takes a certain risk with his profession. If that results in his death so be it, no reason for the state to grieve over that and convict the victim of the crime that went on when he killed the criminal. The crime must leave the victim in a dangerous situation, like being raped, kidnapped, armed muggery etc.
Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
