I don't see how that'd do that though, if people feel like their life is being threatened I don't think they're going to have a fine at the forefront of their mind. 

See the edit.

 

Also; keeping it illegal allows judges to give more appropriate sentences *if* it ends up being a more ambiguous case.

Well, most cases of homicide are already illegal though, unless it's justified self defense.
