jwp475,
Can't, don't buy the irresponsible.... Complete penetration of a human body can't be irresponsible, if it is then misses are gross neglegence.
That's your call, hope it works out well.
Oh, and misses (in a gunfight) are negligent, but not grossly negligent.
How do you defend that misses are neglegent when very rarely are all shots hits? It seems to mean that misses in a gun fight are the norm, not the exception and that the neglegence falls on the shoulders of the BG as without him there would be no gunfight in the first place.
In my nigh on twenty year law enforcement career I have talked to a zillion cops who have been in shoot outs some pretty darn extensive, I have never, ever heard of a bystander getting hit. While I know it can occur, we have to be careful about defining a rule by the exception. People are pretty darn smart about getting out of the way of gunfights!
If in a shootout a bystander is hit, it is not the officer(s) fault. The blame lies with the bad guy. Moreover, should a bystander be killed, the bad guy would be charged with his/her murder regardless of who fired the fatal round!
I hope this helps.
Take care,
Mando
