Sometimes you can't, but killing someone for trying to kill you makes you the same as that person. Anyway, I'm not talking about debating the person, I'm talking about just how willing one is to kill someone else. Why would I want to kill someone for the $80 in my pocket? Even if I was poor, such a thing could not be just, could it? And why are the only choices lethal force or talking? Tasers and mace are perfectly legitimate methods of non-lethal force which can deter an attacker.
I know that when you're trained to use a gun, one of the primary rules is "shoot to kill". You're not taught to shoot out a leg like they do on TV, you're taught to shoot at the head or more commonly the torso.
