      You are correct. In fact, there is even an extended version - If you didn't write it down, you didn't say it. If you didn't type it you didn't say it loud enough!
      The problem in this technical era of electronic record keeping is that it is too easy to "amend history" or even manufacture the record after the fact by providing "proof" years later.

    When I was a kid I had a Lee loader for my 12 gauge. I tried a few different loads but never had any camera footage to see what they did. One was stacking dimes in the wad. Another was short nails with a disc on top (to hold it in for crimping). Small glass marbles, anything I could think of. Wasn’t supposed to be doing that stuff at that age but hey...it was fun. Awesome to see slo mo video!

      I disagree. Do you want your intruder to survive and make a go at getting to you? Or do you want them to drop and never move again? Also, a surviving intruder can make up lies against you and get you in trouble for shooting them because it's your word against theirs unless you have a surveillance system in every room in your home, which would be sort of creepy. I've heard many stories on true crime shows (could still probably be made up bs, but still...) of home intruders suing the home owner for shooting them. For all of those reasons, it's better to shoot to kill in my honest opinion.
