Good. Never stop.
I firmly believe that playing these "what if" games makes us reevaluate our plans. Maybe you form a better plan. Maybe you gain confidence in your existing plan. But just thinking the situations through puts us way ahead of people who never consider such things.

What information is vital to give to 911? Your description? The BG's description and condition? The fact that you have the BG at gunpoint? Discuss.

Did I run out of ammo?

I completely agree with the idea that you should keep shooting until the threat is no longer a threat. And I like to think that even if he falls down with the first shot, that I could put two in the chest and one in the head in the time it takes gravity to pull him to the floor. But we all know that doesn't always happen. (Rarely happens if you read all the accounts of "suspect was treated at the hospital," or "the wounded suspect was found hiding in the bushes at a neighbor's house.") If he's on the floor, injured, it may be difficult to justify shooting him again. So you may be standing there with a gun on him. You may be afraid that if you put your gun away, that this person may suddenly decide to continue the fight, but equally afraid that if you don't put your gun away, the police will shoot you when they arrive on the scene. I think that's what this discussion is about.
