Where is the best place to shoot someone to injure but not kill?

I never tried to shoot to injure. Probably be best just to use a baseball bat and break an arm or leg. With shooting you never know if you are going to nick an artery and have them bleed out on you.

Some people can take a full clip to the chest and still rip your head off and crap down your neck. Others can just be nicked and drop over dead. Most kind of fall somewhere in the middle.

Most people survive unless you hit a vital organ and get them medical care in time. So I would avoid heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and head shots for sure.

The Rule of Deadly Force (i.e. shooting)

Is IF you must shoot you shoot to kill, no fooling around.

You may only shoot when someones life is in immediate danger. Or as an officer a dangerous Fleeing Felon.

If you are not going to kill then there is no need to shoot at all as the danger is not present, so you use the baton on the knee, and never swing from above your waist. (Looks bad in the news pictures if you do.)

Well you flunked that question already and these other respondents would flunk right along with you

YOU ALWAYS shoot to kill, NEVER to wound, it is called center of mass, you put that I would shoot to wound BS to an interviewer, you will get disqualified in a heart beat.

YOU never aim for a leg, or the butt or any other place except CENTER OF MASS that is the area from the chest bone below the neck to the belly button area and you ALWAYS shoot to kill.If you are not ready to shoot to kill then you are not ready for the job

No such thing. If a person needs to be shot, shoot to kill. The threat must be stopped. There is a saying, "What does a guy do after he has been shot with a pistol? The same thing he was doing before he was shot with a pistol"

But that does not mean you walk up to a person after they have gone down and finish them off. You only need to stop the threat.

You are in a watch tower, shooting at a fleeing escapee. How far "downrange" is the target? 100 yards? 250 yards? 500 yards? You plan on "calling your shot" at those distances?

You must be an excellent marksman!

At those distances your best shot is "center body mass" to neutralize the escapee. Winging the subject at that range might happen, by aiming at center body mass and missing. Intentionally hitting an arm or leg shot at that range would be "pure Hollywood".

As noted, you would flunk this question. Your job would be to stop the escape, and the best way to do this is to shoot to kill. Saying that you would not shoot to kill is saying that you would be willing to let the prisoner escape. So, no gun for you!

NO WHERE. If you are not justified in KILLING the person, you are NOT justified in pointing a gun at them. There is NO SUCH THING as a gunshot wound that has a reasonable chance of slowing someone down, but not a HIGH probability of killing them. There have been cases where a criminal has ran SEVERAL MILES after receiving a lethal gunshot wound.

never aim or point a gun at someone unless you are in imminent danger and have to do so. guns are extremely dangerous and even a leg or shoulder shot can end up killing someone if they don't receive medical attention. if you do not live in a state where you can carry a gun then don't carry one.

Knee cap or ankle shots will down a fleeing person without fatally most time pelvic shots will cause swift death from severed femoral artery.

Shoot them in the fleshy part of the buttocks or thigh.
