Anyone suggesting a &quot;shot to the hand or leg&quot; has never used a firearm.<p>Sorry, I don&#x27;t care about a violent criminal&#x27;s life enough to try and take a well-placed shot at a small, moving extremity.<p>No police officer would attempt this, either, if they&#x27;re following their training.<p>Center-mass shots are more reliable, and more importantly, more reliable under stress (larger target).<p>&quot;Patching up&quot; my aggressor is the least of my concerns morally and legally.
