The threat of force can only be as much as the level of force that is justified.
If you have reason to believe that someone intends to harm you but deadly force is not justified, you cannot threaten deadly force.
That sounds to me like it IS allowed to threaten deadly force when the use of force is justified.

Re: What is your Limit?
This really interests me. So, let's say I order a person to stop beating an elderly man and not come any closer, and they charge me in an aggressive manner. Do I have the right to draw my weapon? And if they continue the advance?
I was under the impression that I could use the threat of force, but not actually use deadly force unless the threat was commensurate to my defense. (i.e. life threatening)
In this scenario I would think you have to take a beating or give one. (I'm 28, 6'1" ,210 lbs, athletic and fist/grapple ready)
Is this just opinionated or is there some clarifying language?
I'd appreciate some of the more experienced members offering some advice here.
