Anyone suggesting a "shot to the hand or leg" has never used a firearm.

Sorry, I don't care about a violent criminal's life enough to try and take a well-placed shot at a small, moving extremity.

No police officer would attempt this, either, if they're following their training.

Center-mass shots are more reliable, and more importantly, more reliable under stress (larger target).

"Patching up" my aggressor is the least of my concerns morally and legally.

You're either replying to the wrong post or didn't read mine, shooting at "hands or legs" is ridiculous but wounds to ones limbs are still far less likely to be lethal... Which is all I'm suggesting.
