Ah, yes. You're right. But you have to have reasonable fear for your life. So, you're saying, that if I just run at you, you'd shoot me? What if I was just running at you to yell "BOO!"? The criminal would have to have a weapon for you to be able to shoot him ... Plus, if you were trained right, you don't shoot to wound. You shoot to kill ...

Again, lethal force is the last resort. But, you know the laws. I forgot. Carry on.
