Regarding the legal questions about shooting another person...

read and know your local laws on firearms and use of deadly force. Laws vary from state to state--in some cases, from municipality to municipality. The problem doesn't necessarily end when you've killed the bad guy. If you've screwed up by violating the law, your problems may have just started.

Totally agree. My point is don't mess up a 'righteous shooting' by dragging the body indoors. Blood splatter is a recognized forensic science, as it's always present.
