The only thing I'm not seeing here is that the criminal part of a shooting ain't all there is. Your actions might not attract criminal prosecution but you'd better believe that a civil action is highly likely. Even if you don't go to jail your life will not be the same even if you win after you finish paying for your defense, and anything that a hired gun (sorry, I meant the plaintiff's attorney) can think of using against you is fair game. I went so far as to find out what ammo our local PD was using and that's what my SD weapon is loaded with.
