There are plenty of cases of bad guys taking several "good hits" and continuing. (lots of good guys too)

All the talk of stopping power lull people into the false belief that 1 or two shots (double-tap) will take care of the attacker

People need to be aware...and understand that multiple good hits will be required and may still not get the job done in time...no matter what caliber or magic bullet you are using.

You may still end up grappling with the bad guy, you may get cut, etc unless you are moving off the line as well.

Even if you shoot them multiple times

One shot might be enough (unlikely)

But you should not bet your life on it...oand don't be surprised if it doesn't even seem to have any effect.

Shoot them until they are down...and then watch them closely
