Doing it right and saying it right are not the same thing in a court of law. May be best to learn to say "I was in fear for my life and shot to stop the attack", as opposed to "I shot him with hopes of killing him".

Shoot to kill? Shoot to wound? I was taught: "Shoot to stop the attack." When they stop attacking... you stop shooting. The other thing I was taught: "Don't ever draw your weapon unless failure to fire will result in your or someone you're responsible for's death." That simple truth made the decision to draw or not a "no brainer." (no pun intended)
Have there been times when I wanted to draw? yes... there have been. I didn't, because my life wasn't in danger. When it WAS in danger, yes... I did. Luckily, I didn't have to end someone's life. They threw their gun down and surrendered. May you never be in the position to have to make the decision. It's way too sobering. Michael
