Re: What ammo should I carry?
IMHO-The thought that inevitably follows the thought of merely wounding, or simply displaying my gun to stop a threat, is that I have laid my cards on the table. The BG might leave and come back with a bigger gun, more BGs etc.. When it gets to the point for the use of force, and I have to draw my firearm, I will have exhausted all means to de-escalate. The only course remaining is to shoot to kill. If I leave the BG alive, I and my family are still at risk. Shooting to wound, and brandishing my firearm are escalating the situation, not de-escalating. Whenever I have to escalate a situation, I want it to end quickly and finally.
