I agree that you should engage the target, cease, and engage again if needed.
I don't understand this. If you are hypothesing a mortal attack on yourself, why would you cease before the threat is obviously disabled, like maybe on the floor with the gun out of his hand and no other unfriendly participants? It seems to me that engaging and ceasing before the threat is obviously disabled is inviting getting shot. It doesn't take much to pull a trigger.

Could you explain where I misunderstand what you are saying?
