According to the text below, I can in self-defense shoot someone in a non-critical part of the body. However, everyone that I talk to advises against getting my license and a weapon because no matter what, I will go to jail if I use it. What would be a lawful way to use the firearm in question against a perpetrator? I've seen several cases of people going to jail for using a weapon when someone broke into their property armed.

Can an expert on the subject help me out? Would you advise for or against getting a concealed carry license?

^{The manner in which a weapon was used, not the use of a weapon alone is decisive as regards meeting of the limit of prohibition of manifestly disproportionate defense.

^{Defensive action may not continue after an attack has ended. In case that the defender is prosecuted, proving that defense continued beyond the end of the attack is upon the prosecution and shall be decided in line with in dubio pro reo principle} "
