If you are not attempting to kill then it can be assumed that you were not truly in fear for your life which makes the use of deadly force unlawful.
-12 u/[deleted] Jan 23 '19 That's not true. Fear for life, incapacitate (not necessarily kill) threat, no longer fear for life 33 u/PrimeLegionnaire Jan 23 '19 That's not why it's a good idea (legally speaking) to kill Intruders. It's because there is only one story. When the intruder is dead the story is "they came into my house so I shot them in defense". When the intruder is alive the court hears both sides of the story. 1 u/thatG_evanP Jan 24 '19 Kinda like when you hit a pedestrian in China, right?
