Here is an example - someone is in your home during the night, you hear noise downstairs, you grab your gun, go check it out. You see someone in your house, it is kind of dark, you ask them to freeze, or you'll shoot them. They ignore you and instead start moving towards you. You take aim, you're not sure if they have a weapon or not, but you decide not to take any chances, because you're the last line of defense between you and your family. You aim for the center mass, they end up dieing and it turns out they were unarmed (you weren't sure because it was dark).

Now, tell me, do you think I should be charged in that instance? Because under Canadian law I can be.

You CAN be charged with ANYTHING at ANYTIME - but you wouldn't be convicted (which is key really) if they even bothered charging you.
