Is shooting a guy while he's trying to rob and or beat you a crime Zeke?

In many, many places, the answer to that question is "yes."

And I would agree with those places.

Me putting a bullet in a guy's skull because he bowed up on me is ludicrous and cowardly.

Read any of the stories in that link? I have to accept a beating (or worse) in the name of someone's feelings?

No.

But there are MANY alternatives to the one you seem to prefer.

They are?

Btw, I would prefer them to be law abiding citizens.

Until they do something illegal, they are.

Right. That's why I don't go around shooting poeple at random.

For the record, I don't carry a gun, yet. I don't think I want to. I'm unsure if I'd be able to shot someone. I think so. If they threatened my wife, certainly.

But if someone shoots someone else in self defense that is the attackers fault, not the shooters.

Rabidly incorrect and why giving John Q. firearms is not always a good idea. (For example, I found neither of the moments when Bill brandished a firearm to have been particularly threatening.)

If you use deadly force prior to being threatened with it, that's on you in both a legal and moral sense.

Yes, that implies fault.

Hence 'self defense'!! The hypothetical shooter COULDN'T be shooting in self defense if the other wasn't threatening him.

Gaaa! Are you messing with my head?
