Lets make up a little fantasy scenario where you are in a blind alley with nowhere to run, and 3 guys with knives approach you slowly from 20 meters away. Wouldn't you under those circumstances find it more ethical and morally correct to shoot for their legs first?

I was taught to never pull a gun unless you're going to use it and then shoot to kill, not to wound. Why take the chance that a wounded criminal can reach in his pocket and pull out his own gun?
