I couldn't say how I would feel. It depended on the circumstances. Most likely it would be disturbing to take a life .
If it was a mass murderer and killed a family member and going to kill again it would be a necessity . I really don't know how it could not be disturbing. I hope I never have to find out how I would feel.
How would anyone know the answer to this question unless they have actually experienced it?
Bc some of us are inured to death.
Most often of the innocent...the criminal scum would not register on my radar when I spend my days watching babies and grandparents and mothers die through no fault of their own...
Why should I feel bad about protecting myself and my family from harm?
You can feel good about protecting your family, while feeling bad for taking a life, but then again, feeling one way or the other is not a choice. Either you feel, or you don't. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to protect my family, which is why I have a carry permit, but I pray I never have to take a life. I know it would bother me.
I never had to experience it but I think I would feel bad even if it was in self defense. Maybe not so much because he didn't deserve it, but more because I actually took somebody's life. I feel bad for killing anything living. I don't even kill a fly if I can avoid it. I rather open a window and hope it will fly out. Same goes for spiders; I don't think I have ever killed a spider. So killing a human being is not something I could do and then think nothing about it. It would defiantly change me as a person afterwards.

Sorry, but you have no idea how you'd feel until you do it. And you'll almost certainly never need to do it. Hopefully.

I hope so, too.
I hated even shooting the possum who was attacking my cat.
That bothered me for a long time.
But YOU don't know wht it is like to watch people die over and over and over and over no matter how hard you try to stop it (or sometimes it is peaceful). You have no idea what my relationship with death is.
I can tell you, it would bother me for less than a micron of a second to blow away an intruder in my home.
Also, just psychologically speaking, emotional response can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
