Shoot to Kill?

A very common misconception that could ruin your life!

This is a far too common misconception amongst inexperienced gun owners.

Let me ask you this hypothetical question:

If someone were to enter your home to do you harm, and assuming that it was very clear that they intended to seriously injure or kill you, and you, therefore elected to use a firearm to defend yourself - what would your intent in so doing be?

Here are the most common two answers:

• Shoot to kill

• Shoot to wound

Shoot to Kill:

I hear this all of the time - “If someone comes into your house and you have to shoot them, you had better make sure that they are dead!”

Shoot to Wound:

Another very common answer - “shoot the gun out of their hand” or “shoot them in the leg or hand”

Here’s the bottom line:

Neither of these are correct and it’s critical that you get them both out of your mind.

The correct answer:

“Shoot to Stop”

Thats it! Stop the threat. Once the threat is stopped, anything further will result in very bad consequences for you! So, say this over-and-over again in your head:

Shoot to Stop

Shoot to Stop

Shoot to Stop

Until it is etched in your mind!
