Annnnnd...as soon as the ballistics experts investigate powder residue and determine the bullet's trajectory, you'd be up on charges for not having shot defensively, but having shot the perp from an angle while they were already down. Self-defense does not equal following up with murder.

You think they'd not know? :rolleyes:

Just because a person is down that does not mean that they are not still a deadly threat.

Suppose the perp was on the ground and still pointing his pistol at you?
Would you not shoot simply because he was on the ground?
 
I'm not a doctor. If he's got enough left in him to yell and beg for help, he probably has enough to crawl his happy ass out my door and get help from someone else.
 
HOW did he survive 2 loads of 3" double-ought buckshot to the boiler-room, and one to the cranial region, all from less than 30 feet?

And after having lit off 3 shotgun rounds in my hallway, how exactly am I supposed to hear the soft moaning of a dying man through a barricaded bedroom door? Hell, I'd be fairly surprised to hear a screaming SWAT team crashing through my living room window at that point.

My plan is to STOP the threat, and then barricade myself inside a room my kids and wife while she's on the phone to 911. Therefore, there's no reasonable expectation of hearing anything. I have no criticism for anyone whose plan differs from mine, but I think mine solves the problem the OP proposes.
 
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, you have to help the man that is in pain! Help him up and put another throught his head to ease his pain! Make sure hes standing, they can tell if he was standing of laying when shot :D

Sorry, I just have NO compasion for someone that broke into my house! I feel that odds are if someone breaks into your home while you are there then they were willing to do whatever it would take to you if you walked up on them.... Practice single shots if you pack a 45, double if you pack a 40 and practice unloading if you pack a 9.. That last sentence was a joke, dont flame me for it ;)
 
I am not a doctor so I shouldn't feel as though there is any obligation to render aid in any way, as well as I should not be held accountable if I get overzealous with the chest compressions because I have never been taught CPR

i pity the fool who tries to break in and then expects me to have enough sympathy for him to try and ease his pain-and if all else fails, back off a few feet, and make sure theres a throw-away in his hand when the police get there-or just hide the friggen body
 
Good Lord! Hide the body, kill 'em so there's only one side to tell, etc. etc. ad nauseum :barf::mad:.

This one really took the low road, and a few here really need to contemplate my sig line.

Closed, and I'm sorely tempted to hand out bans like candy at halloween :mad:.
