Yoda,
You are absolutely correct in saying one should shoot to stop the assailant.
If you shoot someone some people say it's better to kill rather then risk a law suit from the wounded criminal. No matter what the outcome it's going to set you back $50-$75 thousand dollars in legal fees.
Just as another poster said...Aim for center mass, I would also double tap. If you aim for the heart or head you'll probably miss. Remember that emotions will be running rampant while you are trying to aim for the head. It's a lot different shooting a target then it is to slam a bullet into someones flesh. It's a life changing event. No turning back.
The law is not black and white.
