Yes, that sounds appropriate and proportional to me, given the massive danger posed to (mostly) women by mostly (men) regarding domestic violence.

Cars kill 40,000 people I just shoot for the tires though.

There are cartridges specifically designed for shooting cars.

I think better analogy would be a drunken partner, loudly shouting "i will cut you", and chasing you with a knife, when you try to run away.
But you are forgetting one major thing: dogs are not people!
Intimate partner gun violence alone leads to about 700 women being killed every year.
So by your logic, if you’re a woman and your partner has a gun, and is walking towards you and you can’t clearly tell that they don’t have a gun on them, “they just want to give you a kiss before leaving home” isn’t an argument. They’re vermin that can kill you and you’re absolutely allowed to play it safe, defend yourself and shoot them.
