You're allowed to use deadly force in response to that other person using or being about to use deadly force themselves, subject to limits and caveats. - albaby

Yeah, too bad that Penny didn't have time to research those limits and caveats as he made the split second decision that the threat was real and the innocents needed protection. But that is where prosecutorial discretion comes in unless that discretion is wielded based on politics more than justice as was the with that humble bodega shopkeeper who spent a week+ on Rikers Island for protecting himself.
