I could care less what the neighbors think of me and I have no co-workers since I'm self employed. I've shot at men in combat and I've never given any of it a second thought.
I WANT to be "treated like a pariah" by stupid people. Anybody who would rather that I be maimed or murdered rather than defend myself is nobody with whom I'd want ANY contact. Being "shunned" by imbeciles is a GOOD thing.No, the worst part is being treated like a pariah by your neighbors and co-workers.

Your ears hurt really bad and you suffer permanent hearing loss
Not necessarily. Ever heard of Auditory exclusion? Neat stuff.
I have a friend who is an ex-cop and a practicing attorney, specializing in self-defense. His advice is to identify yourself, and have your firearm cleared and lying in the open for the police to take if they wish. The only things you should say to the police is, "I'm the one who called. I'm too upset now to talk, but I've called my attorney and we'll give you a statement in the morning."Provide the police with the MINIMUM necessary information, then tell them that you will speak further with them after consulting with your attorney.
picked up pistol from police and sold it to one of the responding officers 45 minutes later (It had been replaced the afternoon after the 'incident')
What happens after a shooting inside your house?

20 days later - picked up pistol from police and sold it to one of the responding officers 45 minutes later (It had been replaced the afternoon after the 'incident'
Dream on.Here's what should happen:
The cops:
1. arrive at the scene
2. Question you about what happened and you tell 'em
3. Scope out the scene and verify that you killed the scumbag in self defense
4. Congratulate you on your fine shooting and give you a voucher that you can use to replace the ammo you shot
5. Call a trash truck to pick up the scumbag and take him to the local dump for disposal
6. Let you know a city paid crew will be by next morning to clean and desanitize the parts of your home mucked up by the scumbag having the effrontery to bleed all over your house.
7. Issue you a voucher waving that portion of your city and county taxes levied to support the police based on the scumbag's record and the estimated amount you saved the city, county etc by not having to deal with the krum anymore.
8. Leave your home with a cheery goodbye and a thankyou for helping to make their job's easier.
Yeah that, and the PTSD.The worst part of the aftermath is getting the blood out of the carpet.
Stop the threat, that's what you should be worried about. And if you are worried about getting sued, shooting him 8 times isn't going to look real good either.Ok, what happens if you dont kill the guy with the first shot? I have heard that you have to make sure to kill the assailent otherwise they will sue you.

It's going to look real bad on you if you "finish him off". The investigators will find out.

I would still be holding it when they showed up also
Wow, why do you even own a gun?Dream on.
Your guns will be confiscated.
You may go to trial. (if the DA is up for re-election.)
You will be portrayed as a "cowboy, vigilante, killer."
Your ammo may be called, "Cop killer, armor piercing, bullets."
The perp will be portrayed as, "A goood boy. Planning on going to college." Even if he had 30 priors.
You will be financially ruined defending yourself.
The perp will have an attorney paid by YOUR tax dollars.
You may lose your job. (because you are in court.)
It better be worth it.
After the criminal trial is over, and you are found "Not guilty", you may be sued in civil court by the perps family. Here we go again.
1st off my this is the way it should be was written tongue in cheek - so "Lighten up Francis..."Dream on.
