Not sure if you can try to apply that to the rest of the world, but I would think if I shot someone defending myself I wouldn't have to worry about insurance covering anything, insurance doesn't cover corpses

Please don't forget there is a huge difference between not having to defend yourself from criminal charges and being sued in civil court by a distraught mother whose precious little snowflake would never have done such a thing as break into your house at 2am. Doesn't matter if they win or lose, you're out thousands for lawyer fees.
