I am Swedish, and it’s very true that ”it depends”.

This guy for example was convicted of murder because he got his gun out without even trying to contact the police directly or indirectly. So even if he pulled the trigger under reasonable circumstances (a know violent offender was trying to take his rifle) he was found guilty because he should not have gone for the gun without considering alternatives like locking the door or fleeing.

I can’t see him being anywhere near guaranteed to claim self defense even if he had fired a warning shot first.
