shoot to stop?
Do you realy want the BG, to advance on you?
Stop, him/her, however you can.
Shoot to wound?
Never heard of it.
Maybe in the movies.
Stop his attempt to harm or kill you or your loved ones.
Base ball bat, gun, brute strenth, pepper spray, screams.
I don't/can't carry a BBB. I'm not strong, don't carry spray and my voice, wont scare anyone.
That leaves me my gun.
If I hit him/her, they will stop! Even for a moment. Then, I have a chance to l;eave or finish the job.
I, have taken human life. I've seen veteran cops, puke at the time of shooting a person.
I've seen Marines, do the same thing.
Some, never recover.
Would I kill again? Yes. To save me or my loved ones life. Not to protect my things.
There is a big differance in paper and flesh. Most will hesitate to shoot. They will lose.
If danger is eminante, run or fight, but fight to live!
