This is just my opinion.

If you decide to plan the death of a specific person, you'd better not tell anyone about it--EVER. I don't care if the external circumstances make it look perfectly justifiable, sitting down and planning a course of action that will end up with a specific person dead is over the edge to my way of thinking.

I don't see it as being the same as saying: "I have a plan to defend my family should someone break in. That's not thinking of a specific person, it's focusing on stopping a crime or general category of crime.

When you stop dealing with how to defend yourself against crime or criminals and go to planning how to end the life of a specific criminal that gets very touchy, IMO.
