If I successfully defend my life but later found out I took someone else's life with a stray bullet, I'm not sure what I would do,,,
Likewise. I do understand what you are saying, and I would probably feel the same way if my bullet hit an innocent. But, that's me wrestling with my own morality and my own choices.

But, here's what I'm not willing to do. As a third person, I'm not willing to criticize someone else who had to defend himself, legally on his own property, where a shot went astray. I'm going to stand behind this person and give him/her 100% of my support. That means placing the blame where it belongs - on the bad guy. No "shoulda, coulda, woulda" good guy messed up too. No, good guy did what he had to do because of the horrific acctions of a bad guy - bad guy is 100% responsible, in my mind.
