"Discussion about why we shoot to stop the threat, as opposed to shooting to kill or shooting to wound, or shooting warning shots - my opinion is that such discussion appears to be needed."
This is a quote from skidmark. It brought up a good point about something that I thought was pretty cut and dry. If a situation is bad enough to draw your weapon its bad enough to fire. My thought is I wouldent shoot in a manner as to wound or warn....espically warn, but rather shoot to kill. Isent this exactly how police are trained?
This should go without saying but ill say it just to make sure. I in no way ever want to take a persons life or even hurt someone els for that matter. EVERY option must be explored and attempted to avoid even drawing your weapon much less useing it. Lethal force is and should be the absolute last option and not taken lightly.
