Maybe, or maybe not.

Look at Sean Taylor - shot once in the leg and killed.

My point is that if you shoot someone, regardless of where you shoot them, you are using force which can easily result in death.

Accordingly, you are never going to be in a position where shooting someone in the leg was justified but shooting them in the chest would not have been.

And again, the idea that you can shoot someone in the leg and they will immediately cease to be a thread is foolhardy at best.
