I guess their thinking is that A)You're only supposed to use your gun if your life is in danger. And, B) if it is in danger you're going to go for center mass, not a difficult leg shot where the danger is "injured" but not completely eliminated. Also, a wounded perp can & WILL sue the crap out of you. Going to court in a wheel cahir, etc. where a dead perps family doesn't hold nearly the same level of "feeeling" for jurors.
It's crazy here. It's so bad, that if a perp steals your purse, etc and runs away....if you give chase with your gun in hand, YOU'RE now the bad guy.
Definitely crazy state
