After reading through this thread, to me it appears obvious, that no matter
how many facts or actual experiences are shared, some readers will only get a
distorted understanding because of the biased lenses
they view through!
I might add that in my concealed carry training It was stressed that to fire my weapon was a last resort to neutralize a threat, and it would only be seconds to make a decision.If I had to shoot, I don’t recall being told to wing’em or shoot ‘em in the leg, but I do remember “Shoot for center of body mass”.
Now in rifle training in the service, I can recall it being said that in times of combat it might be wise to shoot to injure an enemy combatant, since it might take two out of action the one you wounded and the one that carries him off the front lines!
