Pretty easy to prove if you found someone in your house. Just make sure all shots were to the front of the trespasser and make sure they were dead so that the only statements came from you!"
That is what I call "shooting with little barrier". And I am not the only one. And that doesn't mean shooting for any reason, just shooting with little barrier.

It isn't has simple as some people make is seem. You have to be able to prove you were in fear for you life or the lives of others and the evidence must back you up. There are plenty of people who shoot people and claim it was self defense and end up in jail. Not to mention the family of the person you shot will likely sue you.
When you see the huge numbers of people who are supposedly using guns to defend themselves much of that is made up. Nobody really knows for sure how often it really occurs because it normally doesn't end in a shooting. It ends with the aggressor leaving and never gets reported.
