to bad that's not the case. my aunt and uncle killed an intruder in their house. the intruder was armed and pointing the weapon at them while they were in bed. the family of the deceased criminal sued my aunt and uncle for taking away their means of support. long drawn out case but eventually my relatives won. they spent a lot of $$$ on a lawyer. another thing nobody tells you about is the coroner only takes the body and large chunks (357mag). the rest you get to clean or spend thousands to have it done.
