Better review that data base.
Virginia has NO law governing the use of lethal force outside of case (common) law.
There is NO statute law.
Not a one. Even for the police.

I'm not going to look up Virginia's statues, but I'm sure some statues have to address what constitutes the use of justified lethal force even if state statues don't specifically grant the right.
There are millions of laws that are silent on various practices. Being allowed to do something because it's not illegal has the same basic effect as a law specifically making it legal. More complex legal arguments on the subject are another matter.
Not interested in arguing about whether use of deadly force is legal in Virginia or just not illegal.
