What y'all are missing that Rampy is saying is that you shoot to stop the attack. If that means dead it means dead. If that mean after the first shot they turn and run, you stop or go to jail. If you shoot once and they fall down but are still alive you stop unless they still pose a life or death threat STILL. If they are unconscious and you shoot and kill them every state in this country WILL send you to prison for a long time. And when that is done the family will take everything you own and will own.
You shoot to stop the threat, what stopping the threat is differs every time.
On a side note, watch the language please everyone. I've had to edit a couple posts. We are not in the Badlands so no cussing please.

i also heard (rumor or whatever) that if you used hollow point bullets in
the act of defending yourself or your property
that it may be construed in the court of law as premeditated murder by you knowing that
the hollow point causes maximum damage to the subject that was shot
as opposed to regular solid ball ammo.
Does anyone have any input on that? ? ?

Yeah and I heard theres a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow.
This is one of the most moronic things I have ever heard. You keep on believing every "My cousins boyfriend told me..." story out there and you will be living in a fantasy world.

it's all in the way you word your statement when you give it to the cops. you never say I shot to kill the bad person you always say I shot the bad person to stop them from hurting my family of myself!! plus he had the option to live all he had to do was stop bleed'n .
Now if you are forced to shoot the bad guy 15 times to stop his attack and he ends up dying in the process, his death is the result of HIS actions, not yours.

Now on the same note, using HAND-LOADED ammunition in an otherwise justified shooting has sent many men to prison. Many prosecutors have been able to "prove" pre-meditated intent by "going out of your way to personally manufacture and assemble ammunition with the sole purpose of shooting somebody." Doesn't matter if it's a FMJ ball round. If you loaded it yourself and put it in your carry or defense piece, it's there with the "pre-meditated intent" to shoot somebody. At least that will be the prosecutor's argument.
Bottom line: Factory-loaded ammo in your defense guns. NO EXCEPTIONS. I know it's B.S. but why throw a bone to the guy who is trying to put you in prison for the rest of your life?
