[QUOTE="aUSMCb, post: 280373, member: 2958"] this is a really good thread! quite a wealth of knowledge shared here...but of course, in the end, all seems to be circumstantial depending upon the specifics of your situation and need to defend yourself... a good friend of mine is a Police Chief in OK...He's both my SDA instructor, a certified Glock Gunsmith and live fire scenario weapons instructor (myself and his fellow officers in his area attend live fire scenarios a few times a year).. With respect to responses referring to stopping the threat and not the heart, he summed up this very important point simply and clearly: So you protect yourself or your family and the DA agrees and any would be charges against you are dropped...instead of a double tap or accurate shot to vital organs (or empty three clips cause i'm freakin out), and the threat survives, nothing stops him or his family from rolling his ass into a civil hearing in a wheel chair, IV equipment, heart monitor ect..anything the families civil attorney can dream up to show the hard life this bad man now has to live...at that point, you have just put your financial life and your families life in the hands of a jury... If you have a legitimate reason to fire your weapon, and as it was repeated over an over again, a reason that a normal, everyday person would agree with your choice to fire your weapon, regardless if the criminal is dead or alive, you are justified....the same can't be said if his crippled ass is wheeled into a civil courtroom... so at the end of the day, you may have defeated the threat, but the bad guy gets to laugh his ass to the bank... Either shoot to kill, or carry a rasp! [/QUOTE]
