No. NOT murder. But the Criminal Code of Canada states that any person can use deadly force only to prevent the death or grevious bodily harm to themselves or any other individual.

What it comes down to is justifying your actions in court. It is the court that a person has to prove why they killed someone.

Is it OK to murder someone by self defence?

Answer:No but it is okay to hurt them bad enough to get away from them, never should it be okay to kill a human by self-defense. They are a living being.

Can you shoot dead a trespasser on your ranch?

No, this would be murder, even if the person was trespassing.The only time it is legally justifiable to kill someone else is in self defence or for the defence of those around you.For example, if the trespasser was a madman with a gun or a knife which he was using to threaten your family, then yes, killing him is perfectly justified because it is self defence.However if the person was just trespassing and is posing no danger to anybody, there is no justification to kill.There is a very fine line between self defence and murder. As a rule of thumb, if the person is unarmed and is not a risk to your life or the lives of others, then it is murder.
