The only unfortunate bit of the story is that the home owner now has to live with what happened. I've never shot or killed anyone. My thought is that killing someone in self defense should not haunt you. But I suspect that as a human, killing another human, probably does haunt you no matter the reason. I'm sure it would impact some folks more than others. There probably are some folks that would not be impacted under specific circumstances. I suspect there are folks that would be negatively impacted regardless of the circumstances.

I totally agree. I work with and am friends with a number of ex-military, SOF, and PD type folks. It’s not something to be taken lightly, those ghosts haunt you for years.
