"Shooting to stop". When I shoot to the head, I am "shooting to stop." Any shot fired on a subject is deadly force. Under that umbrella, my target within the frame of deadly force is the head. It has nothing to do with "trying to kill or wound." I know the best chances of stopping someone is the head, unless the tactical situation dictates otherwise (distance, backdrop, bystanders, moving target, etc.) .
I am not arguing against COM. I am arguing against the fact that my targeting the head is to kill, rather than STOPPING the threat of serious injury or death in the quickest fashion.

BTW, love the name TacticalFriedChicken!
