I agree with "shoot to stop the threat", and I don't think any less of a guy/gal for feeling bad about shooting. Yeah, be ready to do it, but for heaven's sake don't act like it wasn't something horrific that you had to do.Fangs wrote:I think the general consensus is "aim where your shots are most likely to hit and stop the threat before he reaches you with his knife" instead of "out of pity aim where you're most likely to miss or inflict minor damage to the threat in hopes that today is your lucky day".

Re: CHLer shoots burgler in Manvel
I think it is great that he feels bad about having to shoot the guy. It should never be an easy thing. But you should always be able to do it, if you need to.stroo wrote:Doesn't sound like the CHLer had thought through the implications of carrying a gun. You need to be mentally prepared to shoot someone if you are going to carry.
