31. You make a good point here
but to my mind stopping and killing are a distinction without a difference. You may have to argue in court that you were shooting to stop, which is to say you only shot him once or twice in the chest and he fell down, but if I have to put two rounds of .45 ACP center mass into somebody, I expect them to die. And at the moment I have to do it, with enough adrenalin in my system to kill an elephant, maybe I really would want him to die. I hope I never find out.
