I have been trained both ways -- 2+1 and 3 to CM (actually shoot until the threat is stopped).
But if the intention is to stop the threat, do you think a jury would view the use of a head shot in a defensive shoot as "excessive force?" It seems to me that the intention of a head shot is to inflict a fatal injury (not that COM doesn't have that potential as well).
I'm just curious if most people would view it as "malicious." And of course, I realize I'm asking the wrong crowd too...
I realize that the adrenaline of an actual shoot makes the largest target the best target but I'm wondering how most people train for the day they hope never comes to pass.
