Once you've disarmed your assailant, you've effectively taken him into custody. At this point, you've assumed responsibility for his well being. If he trips and falls, has a seizure or maybe a heart attack, you can be held liable. Do you want this liability and responsibility? I don't! Sometimes it's best to simply let them go.

In addition, if you can avoid it, you never want to get close enough to actually make contact with the assailant, even if he appears compliant. You're putting your life at risk when you do this. Also, how do you hold your gun, apply handcuffs or zip-ties and call 911 all at the same time?
