I’m not buying any of this.
SimplyTrying:My friend would throw 6 beer bottles in the air and I could hit them all before they hit the ground. I haven’t had any formal training. I’m just good at just about everything.
In that case I encourage you to aim for kneecaps and toes in life-or-death situations. But that won’t work for most Americans.
You should never shoot someone’s kneecaps. Too much damage can be done. Not necessary unless you intend to be morbid.
You can’t make stuff up like that.
Maybe if they would have helped teach their brother some morals perhaps he wouldn’t have been shot in the chest due to his own stupidity.
The form of your argument can be used by anyone.

You should just get a taser. Then you won’t have to worry about permanently harming people who want to murder you. Or better yet, learn to grapple.

No need. I have recently learned pyrokinesis.
what good does shooting him in the leg do?
Well, there’s a good possibility you’ll hit the femoral artery and have the guy bleed out before he can be saved in surgery.
There’s always that.

Is your real name Charlie McGee?

Will he bleed out before he can shoot you back?
He is trying to be clever.

No. And that’s one of the King books I’ve never read.
Heard they made a move out of 11.22.63 - Don’t know when but I want to see it.
Will he bleed out before he can shoot you back?
Oh, probably not. But according to this thread, you should shoot for the legs to prevent killing your assailant. And someone asked (rightly so) what good that would do. I just figured I would provide an answer to that question.
If he dies on the operating table, that’s on the surgeon, I guess.
And you ask a very poignant question regarding the concept of shooting-to-disarm. (Or dis-leg, as is the proposal in this thread.)

You should feel your mouse getting warmer any minute now.

If you shoot someone in the leg it’s very unlikely they will have the presence of mind to shoot back. Unless a Steven Segal character is robbing you.
Guvnah:Well, there’s a good possibility you’ll hit the femoral artery and have the guy bleed out before he can be saved in surgery.

The femoral artery is in the upper leg. Aim for the lower leg.
Aim for the lower leg.
Cool. Do that.
SimplyTrying:Aim for the lower leg.
Cool. Do that.
I’m not that mad at anyone.
Oryx: SimplyTrying:Not me. I’m good.
You have firearms training? Have you ever fired a gun under stress? Regardless of your skills, the average person is going to miss if they aim for a kneecap. Without training, even center mass is a challenge under stress.
My friend would throw 6 beer bottles in the air and I could hit them all before they hit the ground. I haven’t had any formal training. I’m just good at just about everything.
Hey! You mocked my post as absurd about shooting the gun out of the villains hand. That is exactly what you should be doing.
Anything else would be mean.

Doug, I would never want to take the chance of shooting off their finger. That’s what would be mean.
Why is this a story?
SimplyTrying: Cynic:If someone has a gun, yes you do.
Never fire a gun at someone armed with a gun without intending to kill.
Sorry my friend. I think that’s stupid and shows a lack of concern for human life. God only gave us one.
I guarantee that I would be able to aim low and hit the legs, stomach, …… There’s no reason for this center mass BS.
“Stomach” is center mass. He had a gun in his hand, what good does shooting him in the leg do?
He will have to limp away after he murders you?
