ISC, the OP's question was:
Quote:
If you are forced to defend yourself with force, and the assailant is put out of the fight for all practical purposes (is seriously injured, on the ground, no longer poses a threat), do you have a legal/moral obligation to provide first aid to him?
You clearly think that the answer to that question is no. Fine.

If you don't want to stir anything up, then please don't. Comments along the lines of "... you definately [sic] shouldn't do it when it is in your interest for them to die " will get this thread closed.

And, by the way, deliberately confounding "shooting to stop the threat" with "shooting to wound," which no one here is has suggested is a good idea, is a shoddy tactic technically known as a "straw man" argument...

I could go on, but... it's probably too late to save this one, anyway.
