I call bullshit. Cough up some proof on that.

The short answer to your question is no, i would not find it ethically and morally correct to shoot for their legs first. In fact, I would consider that morally and ethically bankrupt.
You shoot for their legs (small moving target below your line of vision) and miss (which you WILL) and you've just endangered anyone downrange. In addition, you've now allowed them to close the distance to you, demonstrated that you do NOT have the will to kill to defend yourself, and put yourself in mortal danger.
