RE Shoot to stop the threat
As someone once said “You shoot to stop the threat. Unfortunately, a LARGE percentage of the time this tends to leave the person being shot dead”
This is also the reason a lot of people prefer thing like the .45 to the 9mm. Both, in the long run, tend to leave the person shot dead. The problem is (if you read police reports) that with the 9mm, you tend to get “Bang” and then the person shot continuing what they are doing for some period of time, often long enough to run up/down a flight of stairs, or close the distance to you (aka continue their attack on you), where with bigger bullets (.45 or .40s&W) the person shot is much more likely to be “Dead Right There” (aka DRT)
