When one's own life (or someone else's life is on the line) - the so-called "why didn't they shoot to wound the perp" is such complete bull shit
Anyone that ever even says something that asinine seriously needs to be tied to a post and publicly whipped with 30 lashes.
Making precision shots with a hand gun, under duress, and when is no longer point blank range - in circumstance where there's very little time to fire a shot and it needs to count, it needs to stop what the perp is trying to do...
Attempting to try and make a shot to just flesh wound a perp so as to disable them amounts to: Gee, why take the higher probability torso shot when I can instead try to flesh wound an appendage where the probability for a successful placement of the shot will be much, much, much lower
So when lives are on the line, who in their right mind makes the choice that greatly increases the odds of failure - failure that ends in tragedy for the good guys?
In television and movies they can screen write any kind of BS and depict it happening that way (and yet people will actually think it should be able to play out like they've seen it on TV). But in real life, the Hollywood fantasy shit gets the good people killed
Kyle Rittenhouse made that precision shot that the libs want on satan's lil "medic" and the libs' response is the same as if he shot him in the head. libs are full of shit and are always lying. waste of time talking to them about anything.
Yeah but lets be honest he probably wasnt aiming for his arm as he was merely trying to stop the threats and wasn't even aiming down sight when he shot....no one in those moments are trying to create some Old west “shoot the gun out of his hand”

There's a time and place for 'shoot for the legs', but most of those instances can now be dealt with using less than lethal means like OC and tasers.

I explained it to my sister. If you are aiming at someone's arm running towards you you are aiming at half of nothing.
