The concept of shooting to stop the thread is about mental frame of mind. To shoot to kill is to indicate that is the intended motive as an executioner. Acting to stop the threat suggest you are being defensive. If one draws and the subject drops what he is holding shows his hands, behaves non-threatning and compliant. There is no need to shoot him.Fangs wrote:Not to hijack the thread, but a couple at Cabela's told me that they "took the class and you should shoot to kill, and tell the LEO that, otherwise you will get sued".
Now I was under the impression that you shoot to stop, and if death results, then too bad.
Is this irrelevant with the new "Castle Doctrine" changes in effect? Thoughts?
The CHL holder generally will be better off if the BG cstops and complies without getting killed.
