Is the lethal force then considered murder regardless, because the person shouldn't have had the gun to begin with? Will the lethal force be justified but person given a ticket for ignoring 30.06? Or will all be dropped because of justified self defense. I'm sure it is different from city to city, county to county, and state to state, just curious what everyone's opinion is!

I suspect that it is even more complex than that. Does the perp have a track record? Domestic violence, other assault crimes, etc, etc. Did the perp pistol whip or shoot anyone before you shot? Was it a 17 year old and this was their first offense, it just happened to be with a gun and you around? Were their four perps or only one? Probably way too many variables. I think that we could conjure up instances (geography you described included) that could readily go both ways. Like so many discussions here, it is all speculation until a couple of court rulings start to give precedence.
