The resulting lawsuit will hurt you a lot more than you hurt the
attacker.

That's why you need the proper application of a shotgun too. Living
in a state that has accepted the Castle Doctrine helps.

The castle doctrine doesn't protect you from lawsuits, or from
violation of federal law. Spraying someone with bug spray is a
violation of federal law, and is also illegal in many localities.

The proper application of the shotgun does protect you from said law
suit, though.


Only if you kill all the relatives and maybe even his livestock.

Not in this state. In a self defense shooting, you cannot be sued. Many states are that way. They consider that benifitting from criminal activity, which is, in itself, a crime.
In addition, here in Washington, if you are charged with a crime and it is ultimately found to be self defense, you are entitled to reimbursement for legal fees and lost wages. The laws reflect the belief that one should not be punished for surviving.
