Legally, you're not allowed to do this, but I would like to pose this question to Dude and others. Would you convict someone that did that?
I mean, by the general logic of this thread, why aren't police allowed to use deadly force for all confrontations with burglars, etc?

That ends up being for a jury to decide, IMO.
I consider abortion, murder of an unborn child. That doesn't mean I have the right to kill Drs and women alike that kill children under the law. If that child is born then, and someone kills it -- then I kill them, then I am a hero for killing a child killer.
Be very careful as all of this gets to be very complicated as to where the line is for justification of killing.
