Agree, here's another, in response to those who always intimate "a dead perp can't testify against you or sue you".
You catch the perp and shoot him once, catches him in the gut. He's on his knees, showing no fight. Then you step up close and put one in his brain pan. After forensics, good chance you're in trouble. If he was unarmed, almost certainly you are.
How about the drunk kid that blunders in through unlocked door? Maybe one of your kid's friends, maybe friend of the neighbor's kids, stumbles into wrong house. You nail him. Likely, you're in trouble.
The very idea of "shooting the perp to the ground", while widely taught, well ... one blast COM with double naught would do it, and so would 8 rounds of .45. Which would likely be deemed "bloodthirsty" and prosecuted?
Etc. Any number of circumstances that the "Castle Law" ain't necessarily gonna cut it for total walk on your part.
You have to remember that prosecutors are performance driven critters, they aren't necessarily into "justice".
