      Yeah, for fights that’s very possible. And in fact that would have been preferable if feasible in this scenario, because it’s still far less likely to be fatal than shooting someone.

      Proper use of a firearm is intending to kill someone. Again, there is no way to use a firearm to be less-lethal. If you shoot someone, you are shooting to kill. Presumably this guy had some CCW training and would know that.

          By dumb luck nobody died. The guy was shot in the chest, an area of the body known for being home to all kind of vital organs and arteries.
