Recently in the St. Louis area (E. St. Louis, IL), an elderly woman blew away an intruder who was trying to break into her house. She was not charged with any crime. I'm not sure if IL allows you to use deadly force against an intruder. MO does not...it's been the subject of recent debate in the legislature.
Incidents like the Hattori one are few and far between. If some motherfucker tries to break into my house or come at me, I should be able to whoop his ass without repercussions.
