And this is proof that you can't read to save your life.
My response was to this statement:

...as opposed to shooting someone in the leg once, which suggests you do NOT consider them as threatening.

And I stand by my statement that you don't know the first thing employing deadly force.

Is it theoretically possible to shoot someone in the leg? Of course. Is it theoretically possibe to aim for the leg when employing deadly force?

No, it's not. Anyone with any degree of training in this area knows that.

But you don't know that. Why don't you know that? Because you know nothing about deadly force.

Here's one that should fuck you all up: Deadly force is not empoyed with the intent of killing someone.

I'm just dyin' to hear your argument against that one...
