Exactly. The wife's comments are not that far away from what good defensive police is. All those who made comments that indicate that you buy a gun to kill people, those comments could come back to haunt you in court.

And stopping the threat is usually lethal, given the best targets: the chest and head. As I said, they are NOT taught to attempt to wound. And they are taught to keep firing if the target does not stop.
