Depends on the person and the type gun really....... I have shot a crackhead who thought it was a good idea to try and rob me with a knife. I had to shoot 3 times before he went down, with my shotgun loaded with pellets, not slugs. I was in an APT at the time, so I didn't think the neighbors would appreciate me using slugs, or my rifle

Good.
Then you agree that people kill people?
You should also agree that people that go and act out violence they learned from TV, Music, and Video Games should be held responsible for their actions not the tools or weapons they used, right?

At one time she was the only CCW permit holder in San Francisco and one of the very few in California. She had also carried concealed illegally before the permit was issued.

Can you aim properly? Maybe you are cross-wired in that you are right handed with a left dominant eye?
I find it impossible to believe you had to shoot someone three times to bring him down. People have been known to die with a single .22lr pistol shot at the chest. You gotta make the rounds count. And yes people on crack are tougher to stop because they are full of adrenaline.
