Prosecutors & civil attys.....
I agree with a concern over aiming for the lower torso/groin re; prosecutors-civil attys.
To fire a handgun at someone & deliberately not use lethal force would be a dicey subject in court.
A prosecutor or DA could make the bogus claim that you fired a "wounding" shot to inflict pain or "torment" the victim.
The article stated how the veteran/gun owner is a firearms instructor too.
This could be used too by some lawyers/prosecutors to claim(unfairly) that the veteran shot the subject to be cruel or to torture them.
Massad Ayoob, who's written blogs & gun press articles about his legal testimony in defending armed citizens & cops has addressed the topic of how many rounds a gun owner had or if they had spare magazines.
The premise being if you have 30-45 rounds you are out, looking for a fight.
This bogus claim can be defended but it's important to be aware of it before you carry a gun.
