Responding to footage published online which shows the civilian firing towards the terrorist and neutralizing him. A few seconds later, the terrorist can be seen moving, and the civilian can be seen firing two more bullets within the span of a few seconds.
Oppenheimer said, "An awful terror attack. The obligation of those who carry weapons is to neutralize the danger."
"However, the second shot is borderline. The third shot, in a country of law, is a criminal act."

Yeah.
And cops can hit others and not worry about jail or losing everything. Regular people do.
leftist activists don’t want the terrorist neutralized. They just say that we won’t realize what they really think. They want the terrorist alive and well and the normal people dead and wounded.
I believe 2 to the heart, 1 to the head, was the old standard for insuring that a terrorist would not be capable of further violence.
Should have shot the terrorist in the leg(s), per babblin’ biden.
If he is still conscious with a weapon in his hand, then he is still a threat.
Sounds like that one hasn’t been to shooting class.
The military had poor stopping power with the .38 S&W Long. Since expanding bullets were verboten, the .38 cals were doing complete pass throughs, with not a lot of shock value.
The reissued the .45 SAA Colts (.45 Colt Long) and that got the job done.
When the Army decided on the semi auto pistol, they wanted something to match the .45 Colt Long cartridge.
…” They’re supPOSED to SHOOT the GUN out of his HAND!!! “…
So, shoot once. He's still moving. Double tap. He's stopped moving. The threat was neutralized.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me. It passes the "what would a reasonable man do" standard.

That's not how we were trained. Two rounds to center mass and then check all around you to make sure the world is a safe place. Then reassess the threat. When I see officers doing mag dumps it makes me cringe. Watch the YouTube channel PoliceActivity to see some really crazy stuff.
I’ve had law enforcement from here in Virginia and other states tell me that if I need to use a gun “don’t stop shooting until they ain’t moving.” Or I run out of ammo. The good guy with the gun did right.
In Israel, many armed civilians did their three year stint in the military.
I remember fondly the bikini babes of Eilat and their automatic weapons. MFO 85/86
Israel somehow manages to manufacture a lot of Jewish hotties. No idea what the recipe is, but it works.
It would be amusing if that turns out to be his “famous last words”.
Years ago a young acquaintance, small guy, was being terrorized by a group of thugs here. Everytime they would see him they would beat his ass. He started carrying a pistol. Got jumped by thugs at a party. He shot one 3 times. Twice “would have been fine” according to the prosecutor. 3rd shot was to the head. While he was on the ground.
That was 20 years ago and the poor guy is still in prison. So I’ll have to disagree that you should “keep on shooting..”
Unless you want to spend a long stretch in the pen.
