My Advice is... If someone points a gun at you and says... "Give me the drugs" give him the drugs... heck... it's not even your drugs... and maybe he'll go somewhere quiet and OD. Drugs are property.. you cant use deadly physical force to protect property.

If somebody points a gun at you in the commission of a robbery, you most certainly can use deadly force to protect yourself (caveats for those states that say you have to retreat, etc.). Once your life has been threatened by a person with apparent intent, opportunity, and ability, ancillary issues such as the person wanting drugs or money are really inconsequential by comparison.
As noted, this wasn't a robbery. However, the same rules for self defense would still apply as the same lethal threat is present.
