Couldn't this be misconstrued by a lousy lawyer in the same way? "My client was attempting to hide and surrender when he was shot through the door." I'm certainly not a legal expert, but IMO shooting somebody through a door or a wall is absolutely asking for all kinds of trouble.
+1 to what JohnKSa said about this. If the situation is dangerous enough for me to be shooting at someone, it is, by definition, dire enough for me to shoot through a barrier (knowing what/who the target is). As the old saying goes, "I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6."

I also agree with those who point out that a good modern JHP is all you need. No reason to buy special "armor piercing" ammo which is illegal in some states.
