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.
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.
