Folks, "COM" is the heart/aorta/mainstem bronchus nexus. It's a kill-shot. Telling oneself that it is anything else is feel-good self manipulation, and will return to bugger you from behind.

A BG will most likely not "stand still and take it, "ergo, he may not die. Kudos for him. Equally, that means you aren't getting enough lead downrange fast enough to stop him. Ergo, you are failing. Some will run away, some will not. Sucks to be wrong in an all-or-nothing exchange.

What one tells one's lawyer, what one says to the press is one thing. One's mindset really should be a tad more "visceral." If it's more significant than taking out the trash, or putting down a rabid animal, don't carry a trigger to pull. If you expend energy debating the propriety of your actions after the fact, you certainly won't be able to sustain anything remotely similar to life before the fact.
