What are YOU on? I didn't imply shooting anybody. I pointed out that if you approached this guy he would likely use his power tool against you. Since you can't read between the lines, I'll spell it out: If you had a weapon, you could tell him to stop, if he then tried to attack you, you could do something about it other than have your face ground up.

You should be legally able to though. If someone catches you in the middle of theft it should be fair game to fire one off. Don't want to get shot, don't steal. The world shouldn't mess one less asshole.
No. In the civilized world, we understand reactions should be proportional to the situation. Killing people over a hundred or so dollars is not proportional.

What are you on about? Nobody would reasonably shoot a guy just stealing a bike.

"Hey you. Stop doing that!" pulls out gun
"No." Keeps stealing bike
"'kay ;c" stares pointlessly with gun in hand

Why would I even approach the person? It's not my bike. Maybe it's his bike. Maybe he lost the key to his u-lock and needed to blow torch it free.
