Sorry, that's wrong. We're trained for center mass. Your information is not correct. In a case such as this, especially with video, there's no question about a justified shoot.
Center mass. It's the only thing that stops the threat. If you were shot in the kneecap, your mobility might be hmpered...unless you were doing some exotic and common drugs. In that case, you're unstoppable. Center mass will stop you.
Yep. Gun control laws make women in particular much more vulnerable. Most women have little chance in a physical confrontation with most men. If she has a gun though, the equation changes. How can anybody say they’re in favor of women’s rights or empowerment or whatever and then favor gun control?
Oh and a far as kneecaps.....no. You don’t shoot to wound. In many situations you don’t have the time/control to be able to do that. If you have to shoot, you aim for center mass to stop the attacker.
My ex husband, military police, taught me to shoot. He drilled, center of mass. Of course, he also drilled, empty the pistol before you stop shooting.
My son, ex law enforcement, tells me center of mass. He says one shot will do it.
