Suggesting that this is the only means of defense I probably would
have taken the shot. Being an expert shot (as you suggest) I would
have aimed for the knee cap.

I would suggest that unless you would be shooting to kill in such a
situation, and prepared to deal with the nasty consequences of that
action,
you probably shouldn't be carrying a gun in the first place.


Well Scott,

I did my military service in the Swedish mountain Rangers and was taught
under training for guard duty to aim for the legs if the opponent didn't
stop or wasn't armed with a firearm. Add to that another four years of
training Shotokan and actually learning to control my actions as far as my
ability allows, I would not shoot to kill if unnecessary.

But then again, I have not been in the specific situation and as such can
only wish that I would act accordingly.
