[QUOTE="seurto, post: 1504215, member: 16013"] My wife and I have had this discussion as well.. as, she CC's LEGALLY (just to clarify).. Prior to her getting into comp shooting and practicing, my advice to her was to run for cover and cover yourself with your gun (defensive position preparing to shoot if the perp were to peep around the corner).. I too am not an advocate of warning shots or shooting to wound.. It leaves waaay too many avenues open for interpretation. If you pulled out your gun, you must have been scared, so act accordingly. Now that she's got some practice in, and is a pretty darn good shot, we've revisited these scenarios.. But the final answer is the same, empty the mag.. Becuase you know that you were in fear of your life. (key words given to me by attorneys and LEO in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma). Personally, I have been in a couple of situations like that when I was younger, and I was seriously in fear of my life.. And returned fire. Now that we're older and have been able to practice regularly and have kids and loved ones, it may be much easier to more calmly asses situations.. But you never know until your in it.. [/QUOTE]
