Great post frog... Great post.
That's what I was thinking. If they are running, with a handgun we'll say, how quick could they turn on the run and make a potshot? I figure in about 1/2 a second, which is about the normal human reaction time I believe. Although their shot would be highly inaccurate, if it's my life at stake, should I take that chance if I have a clear shot? Hmm...

Shooting Intruder as they retreat?
I know this story happened in NY, but here in Texas, say someone broke into your home, you confront and chase them out (you know they armed). As they are exiting your property (say your yard), can you fire? I'm guessing yes with the thought that you don't know if they are going to turn and shoot as they retreat, but I wanted some other opinions. Not CHL related.
