Guys:
There was just this week one HORRENDOUS case of gun defense gone bad. A pharmacist witnessed 2 young men holding guns to the heads of his employees. Went to get his gun and took a couple shots at the robbers..
One hit the floor, the other fled. The pharmacist dragged him off security camera and pumped 5 more rounds into the guy off camera. Told police he was STILL threatened by the perp. Prosecution and jury didn't buy it. Pharmacist is now serving time.
JUSTLY serving time IMO.. HOWEVER--- I've got at least 5 stories I can remember where trained officers ended up unloading into disabled perps. (Bart Station cop, NYC "amadillo??", ect) So this ain't just a matter of training and discipline. It's primal instinct when you're defending stuff from criminals..
It's not pretty, but neither is a wheel-chair bound granny with a bashed in head...
