Really simple procedure, and effective too. And no, I'm not in America. Nothing you suggested indicates the necessity for lethal. A potential threat to every being in the vicinity is also not a warrent for lethal force. When a threat is firmly established to an individual or yourself without alternatives to defend you or that person then lethal force can be wholely justified.

There are many police who have no firearms on hand, and they hardly deemed ineffectual.

And I never suggested you were American, merely bringing up a situation where excessive use of lethal force has done far more to undermine the station of a knonwn law enforcement agency than to reinforce it.
