By the way, the same standard would apply if you and I met on the street and I decided to blow your head off.

The actual standard for the use of force is "reasonable apprehension of imminent bodily harm to yourself or to others."

In other words, if you see your sworn enemy standing next to your wife while holding a bomb, you don't have to wait for him to throw it.
