If you shoot someone, they will come to your residence and remove ALL firearms from you, not just the one used. I read on a site regarding lethal force and they quite specifically said it does not state anywhere that they will be returned to you either. Not to mention, you cannot protect PROPERTY with lethal force, and you also cannot harm someone after the threat has ended. If you shoot someone who is fleeing and they die, you will be charged with murder. You may not be convicted depending on circumstances, but I wouldn't take that bet over something that can be replaced. Really? :confused: I don't think they'd even do that up here. If it has been deemed self-defence, why would they confiscate your firearms?
