I wouldn’t argue with your conclusion, but it would have been simpler to shoot the attacker numerous times, and preferably center of mass.

Absolutely, shoot to stop, not to wound, and it seems it almost cost the person their life. If you're going to fire that weapon, you better have a clear idea of what the consequences of shooting it are. That was a stupid thing to do.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

Two is one, one is none. Or maybe don't let the guy take your firearm in the first place? Yikes.

Lots of "stuff" happens in that sort of situation. Kudos to them for having gun(s) and for living through it. Monday Morning QB'ing the situation - meh... If they shot him in the leg on purpose - that was stupid... following an armed guy outside - probably not the smartest move... On the other hand - they lived - so I'm going to put this in the same category as the old airplane axiom that says that "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing... "
