[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 71836205, member: 375234"] I wonder if my wording isn't clear enough -- To me, "I could shoot to hit and disable the attacker, even if likely to kill" = precisely the same meaning as: "I could immediately shoot to likely kill the Nevada attacker, as rapidly as possible, with multiple shots, meant to end his shooting as rapidly as possible, at the high likelihood of killing him, without any hesitation" Those two are equivalent to me. It's based on the precise situation at hand. For the Nevada shooter the precise situation is he is firing off something like 9 shots per second!! 9 shots per second! Each one perhaps able to kill a victim. My best possible following the golden rule would be to shoot multiple shots at him as quickly and accurately as I could with my rifle from that distance of at least 100 yards or more away. My shots would be in my expectation likely to kill him. It would all happen very quickly. Every situation is unique. See? If in some entirely different situation, I could disable at attacker without killing him and without risking that attacker killing some victim, then because I could disable that different attacker (not at all like the Nevada attacker) without risking some other person's life, then that would be the right response. It's like we want police officers to do ideally. Just like we want from police officers to act towards....you or me or your kids! [/QUOTE]
