//Anyone with actual gun training knows you don’t fire “stop shots”//

In some jurisdictions one is only allowed to shoot to stop.

It’s not legal to shoot to kill.

It’s not legal to shoot to wound.

It’s not legal to shoot to warn.

It’s only legal to shoot to stop.

In some jurisdictions, if you tell them anything, it might be advisable to tell the police you “shot to stop” someone from doing what they were doing rather than tell them you shot to kill, wound or warn.

No, you don't.

And women don't have moustaches, but in this case...

I just got my gun permit at the end of the year and was thinking:

1. You shoot only to neutralize the threat. There was no threat here.

2. You don’t fire as a ‘warning’ or to ‘disable’ a vehicle.

3. You are responsible for every bullet you fire until it comes to rest.
