do you have the right to snuff them out right then and there?

It depends, if its just talk then you're probobly gonna be put on death row. But if it is a known criminal who has been terrorising you for motnhs then the jury and judge would take his threat as legitimate. That would put you in a whole new ball game, but you'd probobly still do some time.
