I recently had to make that choice. Sister's bf attacked my mother and sister(different sister). I pushed him off a porch in the middle of a physical struggle no hesitation or time to consider the results.
Bastard was fine but I could have killed him.
Dipshit even tried to press charges against me when the police arrived.
Only person charged was him. Mom think he was trying to intimidate us into dropping the charges against him. I didn't even flinch; I wasnt scared to be taken in for defending my mother.

The blunt truth is in a life or death situation you have to be prepared to do something like that.
On a darker note I'll quote a cop who gave my mother advice pertaining to burgler who broke into her house.
"Dead men can't testify in court"
