Could deadly force be used for criminal trespassing on private property if the trespasser had been warned not to enter the property and was armed with a deadly weapon?
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.
