Yes you can, if they are close enough, it's in their hand and they act with any aggression. I am not a mind reader
The aggression part is my point...you can't shoot at someone just for having a gun/knife in their hand. You must feel as if you or another in is Jeopardy from the force presented.
Keep in mind that the survivor + any witnesses will write the history. I would never willingly shoot an innocent person, just sayin'

I have done it 7 times, 6 with a handgun. Bad guys don't call the cops...
Probably best if the bad guy dies so it's your story that is the only thing to go on. This is the thing that scares me the most. As we all know if someone wants to hurt you they can be on you danged quick even if they start at 10 yards away. Yes, awareness is key but you may not always be able to take in everything that you need to to be totally situationally aware. I walked out my back gate one evening to get some firewood and had a guy casing my truck. Fortunately, I scared him with some really salty language and a demeanor that said I would jam my truck up his butt. However, we were easily within the 7 yard danger zone. It wasn't that I was being in grass munching bunny mode ... it was a chance face-to-face encounter.
Wow. I am so glad I a) don't live where you do; b) have not had to do this.
I know that BG's don't call the cops but my question earlier (#13) was about a scenario like being in a grocery store parking lot late. You perhaps pull your gun ... maybe you don't aim it and the BG skeedaddles. However, the lady across the lot only sees me with a gun out not knowing what was going on to cause me to do that. I know it's better safe than sorry and better to have to explain my actions to the cops but I still wonder about being charged with menacing no matter how justified I was in my actions.
The lowest are the story scammers. I ran out of gas and my mom is waiting out on the highway in the car .... BLEECH .... lowlife con artists.
I can say from growing up in the ghetto that most people have a TV impression of being robbed where the thief comes up and demands your wallet. That isn't how it happens, you get physicaly jumped before you know what's going on so the quick draw scenario where you go for the gun instead of pulling out the wallet to hand to them is seriously naive.
In a rare moment of quick thinking I said " Take me out back and forcefully eject air at me and I'll give you a 20.". The look of shock on her face was classic, and her 15-17ish year old daughter started laughing her head off.
