Not at all. Someone using nonlethal force (bear spray) in Portland got turned off immediately by someone using lethal force. The lethal force user was charged with 2nd degree murder and got turned off by arresting officers near his home.

A marginal shooting will very likely get you charged; maybe you'll eventually get acquitted, maybe not. Your defense will cost about what a nice used Cessna 172 would. Maybe you'll prevail in the later wrongful death suit, but likely not. That response will cost you even more.

Not shooting people is better, both for police and civilians.
