Why do you say that?

Is it theoretically possible to shoot someone in the leg? Of course.
Then we are in agreement. So, either both of us don't know anything about deadly force, or not.

No, it's not. Anyone with any degree of training in this area knows that.
And I didn't say it was. I did not even mention deadly force. I simply said it was possible to shoot someone in the leg.
Quote:
But you don't know that. Why don't you know that? Because you know nothing about deadly force.
Again, how did you reach that conclusion?
Quote:
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...
I did not mention "deadly force" in post #45.
