The right to self defense means that you have the right to use force, including deadly force, to stop a threat to your life.
In a life or death situation, your last concern should be moderating your force against your assailant to stop the threat.

Just hand it over, your wallet/phone is not worth your life. If your life is threatened, you use the necessary force to stop the assailant. That may include the use of deadly force, but that threat of deadly force (brandishing a firearm) should absolutely not be the first cause of action. A lot of people seem to have worked themselves into a paranoid mindset, where every unpleasant altercation is a life or death situation. That is a very dangerous state of mind, and one that results in completely unnecessary loss of life.
