Really. You're going to make a leg shot from 20 yards away in profile on a sprinting target? Have you ever picked up a gun? How about smelled one?But OK, you aim for your tricky shot. You take one second to react and draw your weapon, one second to aim and fire. In that time, our perp, whom we assume is at a leisurely 8.8 feet per second is a mere 12.4 feet from the old lady when you miraculously hit him in the arm. He switches the knife to the other hand and stabs her, or smashes her osteoporitic skull with an enormous fist. Did that old lady "know the risks"? Did she deserve to die because a very young teenage philosophist (not a misspelling) decided the completely innocent old lady's life was his to risk to stop a murderous thug?

No amount of logic is going to affect a change here. Just be done. Internet argument cool-rules aside, at some point, you have to be able to look at another person and reasonably conclude that they've got their head up their ass.
