You still have to be facing a threat of deadly force, but you have that threat if you are packing. Your own gun, which a mob closing on you uttering threats of physical harm could easily take from you and kill you with, provides the instrument
A gun-grab attempt is ALWAYS the crime of attempted murder, and fear of a gun-grab by a mob forms the required state of mind to defend yourself against that mob by use of deadly force.
