I'd agree except for a few things. 1. It's insane, but criminals can actually sue you for their injuries if you shoot them in the commission of a crime. They can't sue you if they're dead. 2. If I injure him and he holds a grudge, what's to stop him from exacting revenge when he's out of prison? 3. Your best chance of stopping an intruder is always to aim for center of mass, less chance of a miss. If he survives that, ok, but I'm not going to risk a miss by aiming for the shoulder or leg. |
I wouldn't worry about the criminals winning the law suit though. If it was a justified shooting you should be alright. I've seen many crazy things though and some cases where the burglar wins. That definatly needs to be changed. I think the first point is more likely. Dude would be stupid to go back for seconds after getting shot lol. As for your last point, I don't know how big your living room is but I wouldn't worry about missing the shoulder in mine and I've never fired a weapon.
