    If you die you can’t sue and the public doesn’t get to hear the victim. The family can sue, but it’s not the same. Seems to be pretty standard, even in CCW classes it’s often implied if not directly stated that if you shoot someone it’s better if they die so you don’t get sued by them.

      That’s part of it, the other part is it’s hard to tell when a person is no longer a threat to you in the heat of the moment. People have been shot before who aren’t high on anything and still able to go for several minutes longer with life ending injuries.

          I was commenting on self defense usage in general. Though all the gung ho idiots seem to forget the first rule, avoid a situation where you’ll need to fight/defend yourself. This is from someone who has been educated with self defense classes, reading, and examples.

            Are you rationalizing why he shot her or are you just trying to show off your morbid knowledge and impress us with your background? I already stated why death is a “preferable” outcome. What did your grisly contribution of “they can still live a while” add?
