My wife and I have seen too many court cases chew up and spit out good people who acted with honest intentions and pure motives.
Your odds are iffy even in a righteous shoot, because people lie and public servants are often to busy to give proper attention to details that can have a big impact on your life down the road. Do you have six figures to burn on a legal defense over a $100 thing?
Your odds on a borderline claim of self-defense are even worse. All your savings and retirement are gone. You may or may not do time, and the scumbags relatives will sue you into bankruptcy if there is anything left after the criminal case.
An on-line posting history of intending to shoot for less than an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm won't help either.
