Figure if you shoot someone center mass, more than likely ribs will be cracked, lung punctured, heart punctured, etc. Also the easiest to hit.

I'd sooner hit them in the Knee so I don't kill them

And put your life in danger so they live and then later come back to sue you? That's just stupid, even the Torah mentions if someones coming to kill you, kill them first.

Your life is top priority over a criminals, don't shoot them in the knee and piss them off even more, killing a person isn't like hollywood where you shoot them in the leg and they fall down from the force.

Normally shooting someone in the leg just makes them insanely mad, and people need to aim center mass.

If their aim is off you still will hit them. Never aim for the head high risk of missing.

For anyone not good at fire arms, I suggest you empty the mag into the target in quick time.

If you have good gun handling abilities a double tap is all that is required.
