I think the pelvic girdle shot is just another option and shouldn't be discounted. We use it but typically for failure to stop after torso shots not working. There has been some discussion here about not making pelvic shots for various reasons. Some have pointed out the fact that it doesn't stop the opponent from shooting back. I agree with that. I also know that not all bad guys are armed with guns. Some of them bring knives, big sticks, beer bottles, or great big muscles to the fight. You may have done just about all you can do to retreat or to create distance. The pelvic girdle shot might be an option. Its worth some thought and research to determine if it is a viable tool. Worst case scenario, it might mean the difference between a murder conviction or an agg assault conviction if some grand jury, prosecutor, and jury think the use of force was unjustified against an unarmed attacker even though you believed it was.
