After the first magazine, the threat has ended... either the bad guy is dead or he has hauled ass. When asked "Why did you put 14 9mm rounds into the bad guy??", the correct answer is "Your honor, thats all the gun held."
lol, well the answer is partly in jest in the first place, if you but think of the original scenario. If I am in a situation where I have my wife and kids with me, and a 100% gin-you-wine tally-ban rolls around the corner complete with waving hands, weapon wielded, and crying praises to Allah while running towards my family, then something is wrong But in that most unlikely of scenario's, I am fairly certain it would be safe to say that his immediate intention would be to harm/kill my family and I. In that case, If I had a gun I would absolutely immediately stop him

Unless his character disgusts and sickens me to that extreme of a point, I dont really see me wasting the time and energy torturing him either.

From time to time, when presented with fictional, hypothetical situations(with a slight comedical overtone) such as this one, I sometimes decide to slightly exaggerate my answer, or maybe just make it a bit more extreme, just to see peoples responses. Psychology and Sociology... its a little hobby of mine.
