On the flip side---in most defensive encounters, the "shootee" having been shot, more often "quits" than is "stopped."
The trouble is your adversary can 'un-quit'. I can list off lots of fights I've seen, and one where I learned my lesson, where the gentlemanly thing to do was stop swinging when the other guy gives up - and the gentleman gets attacked again the instant he turns his back. In my case it almost meant getting whacked with a swinging beer pitcher. Somehow the guy just missed - I felt the breeze on the back of my head.
Let's say you shoot the bad guy and he doubles over and turns his back on you without dropping his gun. What would you do?
Don't answer - just food for thought.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Robert Frost
