Will, I will repeat this, because I know it has been explained to you ad-naseum already on this board.

If you shoot someone, you are using lethal force, regardless of your intentions or aims. There is absolutely no reason to "shoot to wound" someone. If you do, then it implies that the situation was not serious enough to justify lethal force, in which case what are you doing discharging a firearm in the first place?

Again (not that it will sink in this time), you shoot center mass because it is the most reliable hit in a very stressfull situation, if you can rationalize some other course of action through what should be almost instinctive training (if you are carrying in the first place), then you shouldn't be pulling the trigger, you should be running.
