I find this a non issue. When faced with a situation that I honestly feel my life or my family's lives are in real danger, I will not have time to debate the issue. I will act. If lives are not endanger, I will not shoot.
The cops and lawyers will have some work to do to get to the bottom of the issue, but I will have a clear conscience.
As for the student who asks, "can I shoot when..." I always answer that the question if falacious. What students really want to know is "is it legal" Then I just read them the law. I also tell them they must live with themselves afterward knowing what they did. There should be no viable alternative.
