IMO, the use of lethal force is "A-OK" so long as your being threatened with lethal force, and you did not instigate the situation.
EDIT:
Examples of what I would consider being threatened with lethal force.
ex 1. Assailant has in their hands a deadly object.
ex 2. trying to get his hands around your throat or, dare i say it, trying to smash your head repeatedly into something. These actions have only one intent in my view.
