The state or the federals can do this. We can not use more force than is necessary to repel the threat. This is a defense only, up to the jury. If you are in fear of your life, you can use whatever force is necessary to save your life. Again, this is the self defense defense You certainly could not kill someone for theft, unless your life was in danger. Be careful..
