Most well trained  and informed individuals that have taken time to study the laws regarding protecting yourself with a gun know you shoot to kill if you are using a weapon. While this sounds crude it is not. You do not want the person commuting the crime to become the victim. I Would definitely not put down any law enforcement officers for shooting to kill as thier situation would probably call for it. No police officer just shoots someone. Please remember that these men and women risk life and limb so MARK can not be beaten down by crack heads, thugs and heroin addicts. come on MARK really.
