Ummm...if you've stopped the threat, there is no legal reason to take the kill shot.

You're right. Shoot to stop, not shoot to kill.

If I ever had to shoot someone, I'd hope they lived. I don't want the death of another human being on my mind for the rest of my life, even if they 100% deserved it.

By forcing me to kill them, they'll have taken something from me. I'd do it if necessary, but wouldn't like having to live with it.

Some people just don't realize that when you are physically attacked, you are dealing with two battles, the perp and the legal system. I want to survive both.
