Another case this week, when assailant got shot in the leg.
Looks like it becomes a standard for self defense.

Shooting an armed assailant in the leg is a good way to get yourself killed.

It’s one way, I wouldn’t say it’s a good way.

From anatomical perspective shooting in the leg is the best way to immobilize assailant.
Once threat is stopped you aim at the arm to disarm and eventually if you still afraid of your safety you shoot center mass.

Except that adrenaline is an amazing drug!

This protester got run over with both front and back wheels of the car she was blocking but still got back up! (Granted not entirely under her own power)

Then there’s drugs to consider,… like the effective meth that the reich gave to the soldiers during the blitz!

Ohhh,.. and this guy!

Kneecap is better.

Stop the Threat! That’s It! If legs, arms, hips, belly, chest , face or what ever works so be it. But the mind set of shoot here or there to disarm, distract or frighten an assailant is probably too much time, too much precision targeting and to much room for error under a high pressure attack.

It makes me shoot more accurately. I’d say I could hit precisely in the patella :grinning_face:

Surefire way to not assume a new position as a speedbump. STAY OUT OF THE FRIKKEN ROAD. Protest on the sidewalk, dumba$$.

If I’m shooting the leg, I’m aiming for the femoral artery.

And always ā€œcontrolled pairā€.
No surgeon is able to fix double damage… :grin:

Looks to be way to precise of a shot placement is a 2 second draw, acquire, engage loop.

Shooting at the leg is too hard especially if walking or running. Shoot him in the pelvis. At least it is a wide target. He will drop.

In reality, that won’t be my target. I was just playing along with Jerzees’ post.

Mozambique drill is what I would apply whenever possible.
