How about with the person 20 feet away with your weapon at the ready, on the person.. shooting for the chest? This is what I said.
If the situation is like above, then yes. If someone was shooting at me, hell no... But with the topic situation, even a one second pause between rounds is enough to know if you need another shot.
Saying the word kill? That's what I'm saying the difference is, it's stop the attacker, not kill them to stop them.
I'm not sure what this has to do with your question.
But yes I was, due to the events in my life at that time. It doesn't relate to anything today unless those events or something like it happened again - which was a rather extreme part of my life.
I would recommend people do that too... I never said otherwise.
Could you do it from 20 feet, no major threat on you like a gun? Single shot, center mass... say 2x2 your left? Like, let's say the person was holding a knife - pointing it at you but also holding a baby - he advances towards you, right side of the chest is open - your gun at the ready already on that spot, 20 feet away - could you hit the chest?
This was a special situation, a known mental history person. Thus "I feel" they used too much force, that's really all my point has been. That's why it relates to my situation too.

you have this dream that the cops know excatly who they are dealing with when they get a call...
9 times out of 10 all they get is a call like
413 on fremont..
person with a gun on freemont
413a person with a knife.. you won't find out until after the fact he was mental.. unless you happend to be lucky and are privy to that info before you arrive ....
in a perfect world you would know who what when and why.. in reality you know person with a knife....
I understand what your saying and in a perfect world I might agree.. but in reality it is what it is... as far as I see id rather the cops do it than me have to... ive pulled my gun once on a mentally deranged guy downtown.. did I shoot? nope he was smart enough to walk away.. but I can say honestly if he took one more step twords me I would have put 10rds in his chest...
as for baby being held hostage ? thats different... tottally different... if your being charged with a knife in one hand and baby in the other.. thats tough I hope to god im never faced with that situation I can say I would react on what felt natural at the time... something like that you can't plan there are to many variables .... I know what would sound good to do.. one shot one kill headshot.. but could that be done? who knows... like I said I know I could make the shot.. now under pressure? who knows... you like to think training would kick in and it would be a reaction rather than an action ... but you never know....
