>> You do not shoot to wound. You only shoot to kill.

If I read this kind of crap on FR one more time I’m gonna scream! No, dammit, NO! You only shoot to stop the threat!

Repeat: TO STOP THE THREAT!

It's not crap and I'll explain why.

No, dammit, NO! You only shoot to stop the threat!

1. You shoot to hit center mass.  Why, because it is very important you hit the assailant immediately.  It's the biggest target.  Every chance they have to get off one more shot, is one more chance for someone other than them to die.

2. What is in the center of that mass?  That would be the heart, lungs, vital organs.

3. Do you ever shoot to wound?  No.  A wounded assailant can and will continue to shoot you or others.  Wounding shots would be to smaller targets, easier missed, and again, allowing the assailant to fire off more rounds.

4. Do you ever shoot to disarm?  No.  It's very hard to hit a weapon.  It is a tiny target.  It's generally moving.  Once again, pounding it in if I have to, missing allows the assailant a chance to fire off more rounds.  Hit center mass.

5. End this person's fantasy of killing you and others.  Put them out of commission as quickly and safely as possible.

6. Do not have any empathy for someone seeking to end your or other people's lives without good cause.


Repeat: TO STOP THE THREAT!

Repeat, hit center mass.  Any way you want to parse it, it's a shoot to kill shot.  Perhaps you have a PC reason for stating "stop the threat".  In life and death situations you can take your PC and desposit it in the round file.

Sad.

You don't take your weapon out unless it's their life or your own.

I'm voting theirs and I would urge others to look at it just like that.

Keep things in perspective.  You must live.  Those you care about must live.  Anyone attacking you, must be confronted with extreme prejudice.
