Same in Illinois. You pretty much have to prove that they intended to kill you based on precedents in this state.

Shooting the other guy in the front lawn would get you put away for a long time around here.

Of course, Jesse Jackson would show up and protest too...

Oh, and when this stuff does happen in IL, it is rarely reported in the newspapers. They wouldn't want people to think that guns could save innocent lives or anything.
