I believe it is something like if you ask a burglar to leave your home three times and they are on your second floor you are legally allowed to shoot them. (Not sure whether to death) (even if they deserve it) Or in the event of self defence, so if you find that somebody is trying to stab you during your day then you are allowed to fight back in self defence.

This varies from Sate to State in the U.S.Generally, if you have a reasonable belief that life or property (yours or another's) is in imminent danger, you are allowed to use the MINIMUM level of force required to defend that life or property. If you are actually being attacked with a deadly weapon, then deadly force is almost always justified. Just because a person HAS a weapon does not always mean you were threatened by it (such as when a person is legally carrying a gun).Because this is the Internet, it is probably worth mentioning that no, you cannot use this argument when the police show up. Only a Judge, not a private citizen, can decide that they were trespassing.
Deadly force use by police?
The use of deadly force by police is defined as "is the force which a person uses, causingâ??or that a person knows, or should know, would create a substantial risk of causingâ??death, serious bodily harm or injury.

So this could be used in a instance when a perpetrator has a weapon and needs to be subdued before they harm another person.
