"3.) You need to shoot to kill."

---

Your friend's dad who was a sheriff is terribly mistaken with advice he is providing.
One does *NOT* shoot to kill. One shoots to halt an attack.

That is why one cannot stand over a writhing criminal and pump three more bullets into him / her while squirming on the ground disengaged from the fight.

If the attacker happens to die in the course of a no-bill shooting, that is one thing.
To ensure the criminal dies (even though attack was halted) will land an otherwise law-abiding person in legal hot water.

Appreciate the clarification, that's good to know.
