[Past Your Eyes]

Are you one of those “shoot to kill” people rather than “shoot to disable” people?

We shoot to stop. That means center mass. I shoot for an appendage I'm more likely to miss and hit little Susie who was walking home from school.

Shoot to disable is absolutely the most ludicrous idea the liberals have ever come up with and that's one thing that's actually agreed upon by 99% of FReepers.

Police, military, even civilian weapons carriers...

It’s always “shoot to stop”. In most situations, you aim center mass and keep firing until the threat ceases. “Safety drill” is two to center mass, one to the head.

Might look cool in the movies shooting a knife out of someones hands or shooting them in a foot... Reality isn’t TV though.

Since the only justification for shooting (in a civil, non-military environment) is to stop the actions of a person trying to kill or seriously injure you or an innocent 3d party, then lessening your effectiveness by trying some fanciful “shoot to disable” is admission that the shooting might not have been necessary in the first place.

Two to the center of visible mass and repeat if the threat still continues to be a threat. NO Coup de Grace to the head.
