Then I would consider you part of the problem, not part of the solution.

If I ever fire my gun in any situation other than a practice range, the single reason to shoot, is with the full intention to kill something or somebody.
Which will indeed “stop” the animal or human on the receiving end.
“Warning / wounding” shots are strictly reserved for professional snipers in the employ of a government entity, or complete idiots.
Adding PC talking points, is a nod of approval to PC speech, and serves no good purpose.
Other than tampering with both the 1st and 2nd Ammendendments to the USA Constitution.

Every CCW class and firearms class I ever attended taught to shoot to stop the attack.

If you have so much distance between you and the attacker, you shoot for center mass.
If you can shoot for the head, do so.
If his big toe is exposed around a corner and you have enough ammo to stop the fight, you shoot the big toe.
Anything you do to stop the fight you do.

If the attacker drops his weapon and surrenders, the fight is over and you cease firing.

Texas CCW holders are taught to shoot to stop and not to kill. We arn’t taught to stand over and continue shooting just because the guy is still twitching.

Really??? Thats kinda harsh to assume my intent in a self defense situation...

By law, at least in my state you are required to “reasonably determine” that deadly force HOWEVER implemented by shooting to stop, is acceptable per the laws in my state...How I feel about it, and how I actually defend myself is moot at that point...

If you still believe I am the problem...Well far be it from me to try to convince you otherwise...

Like I suggested to Ronin here in my previous post...You are most welcome to participate in the discussions at one of the few websites besides FR here...

TexasCHLforum.com

I am not hard to find there, and you can see the kinds of serious yet lite comments I make about what I consider to be a very serious subject...

If you still believe I am the problem after that...So be it...
