#10  Or - keep shooting until you are out of ammunition, having "expended all rounds".

#9  Yep AP. Keep shooting until it isn't a threat.

#8  You exercise enough force to eliminate the threat. Period. Maybe it will take one shot, maybe it will take more.

#7  Particularly enlightening was the comment in the news article to the effect: KSL reports that the surviving suspect “was shot multiple times.”


Because if he's still moving, he could get up, take your gun away from you and shoot you dead. Or beat you to death with his fists. Or sit on you and beat your skull in against the floorboards using your ears as handles.

'Brings to mind the apocryphal story about the police officer interviewing the little old lady:

Officer: But, maam, you shot the deceased intruder NINE times. Why on earth did you do that?

Lady: Officer, it was because when I pulled the trigger the tenth, eleventh. and twelfth times, the gun just went "click".

#5  Now that's what I call
gun control. One gun fires, two
perps go down. Shot dead.

Bad Haiku.

#3  Or Marine's son in this case...

Sant fought with the men until his 29-year-old son emerged from a back room and shot both suspects. Tupu died at the scene, and the second suspect was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
