In the U.S. generally speaking, if you are found to be acting in self defense when you shoot another person, there generally is no punishment. You may, depending on the circumstances, have to hire an attorney, and there have been cases where people appeared to have acted in self defense but went to jail anyway, but there are usually mitigating circumstances, or some sort of odd law.

Your question is very vague.

Some states allow you to sell a gun to someone with no restrictions involved, and others may not. The laws vary from state to state, but as long as the person you're selling to isn't a convicted felon you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Every case is different. If you need information on a state or federal criminal case, seek information from your attorney or from an attorney at your local public defender's office.

It depends on how bad the case is and how many people you have killed.

There is no specific crime for stealing a firearm. They are treated like the theft of any other piece of property.

What are the current gun laws in the Czech Republic?

Czech gun laws require gun licence and registration of proper firearms (made after 1890, not percusion, not airguns etc..). Gun licence is "shall issue" even for selfdefense. Schools are not gun-free zones. (sidenote: CR had more ccw licences per capita than Texas in 2009) Handguns and "evil assauls weapons" are legal for licence holders 18+ old or 21+ for self-defence. See wikipedia for more detailed information.
