    That way the assailant tries to rape you, instead of rob you?

    If you shoot and they assailant lives you may regret it when you are sued even though they were the attackers.

    Agree with this so much. Last thing needed is some ass clown filing a civil suit against me because I shot him for harming me or my family.

He said sometimes exit wounds were difficult to find. His point was, they lost people because the trauma was overwhelming.

    It is doubtful that shots with a .22 very often immediately stop a determined threat. It is more a case of long-range (time) fatality. Kind of like someone with a terminal condition able to act until the malady overtakes him.

    Immediate incapacitation requires inability to remain standing and inability to employ a weapon. Think spinal cord C and/or T or brain stem. Second choice, blood loss of sufficient quantity and volume in a short amount of time, bringing loss of consciousness very quickly. Hit the spine, you've likely traversed the aorta.
    My old man handled a case in which a person was shot at point blank to the back of the head with a .22. The .22 did not enter the skull but wrapped around the skull to the front of the person's head. The person survived. You never know what that darn .22 with do.

    Yet again, I do recall 2x stories from around Allentown with one shot one kill scenarios.

    I have heard of such a case before.

    You never "shoot to kill" and you never, ever shoot someone that is no longer a threat. There's a pharmacist out in Oklahoma that could tell you all about that. You'll have to visit him in the penitentiary sometime during his lifetime incarceration.

    Hell of a lot better being sued than life in prison.
