I'm not so sure about that.

The requirements for the use of deadly force normally require that a threat of severe bodily injury or death be present.

My brother is a Florida gun owner, and I know, full well, that he can kill someone who breaks into his house. He's up shit-creek, though, if he kills someone who's vandalizing his front yard...
