I have always thought that if I was ever in the unlucky position of having to shoot an intruder I would not call the cops but firstly cut out and remove the bullet and then just take his body to a far away deserted area and dump it.

If the cops are so clever they will find me and besides murder/culpable homicide I will be charged with the extra offense of trying to defeat the ends of justice, that means I will be no deeper in the s#!t than if I had called them in the first place.

If they don't find me so what?
