Yes it is. From what I was taught in my concealed carry class was that all you need in Colorado is to believe that you are under threat of immediate harm. Harm could be anything that cases injury to body. The bar want very high from what I remember. That said, depending on what jurisdiction you are in when you defend yourself you may end up having to defend yourself a second time in court.
