In teaching CCH classes, we would give students a factual scenario (based on cases in which the shooter was charged with murder) and then asked (by show of hands) those who that the shooting legally justified and those who thought it was not. Even after a three hour presentation on the law of self defense, most continued to misunderstand when they could use deadly force. Everyone please teach yourself or take a course in the use of deadly force. You don't want to get it wrong and end up in prison.

So that's the benchmark there? Don't use deadly force when it's not necessary, because you could go to jail? I dunno - I'd rather have an NRA instructor who told me don't use deadly force when it's not necessary, because you could end up killing someone who shouldn't be dead.
