my first thought was “cool.. it’s daylight (9am).. the homeowner ought to be able sight better for a good shot!”

Geesh.. don’t these guys aim?? Go for the knees and/or the car tires!

“Go for the knees and/or the car tires!”

Center mass, double tap.

I wouldn't recommend shooting for the tires. Most self defense laws allow the use of deadly force in the face of a deadly force threat. Shooting at the tires is an attempt to apprehend.

If you shoot for the tires you may find yourself facing charges.

Go for the knees and/or the car tires!

That's EXACTLY how you miss your target, and thus present yourself as one.

The target is the perp. Center of mass is the target, as Beagle said.

People watch too much tv.

You pull that trigger, you'd better be ready to kill someone, and everything that goes with that, or you have no business pointing a gun.

Knees? Why not just shoot the gun out of his hand? ROFL.

Aim center of mass and you will hit something. Aim for a small moving target and you will hit nothing (but maybe an innocent bystander or someone in another house). Make your aim for the largest part of the body and you will take them down.

You’ve been watching too many movies.
