The correct expression when discussing a defensive gun use is “shoot to stop the threat.”

That’s what you’re trying to do when when your life or that of a loved one is threatened. You are not trying to commit a homicide, however justifiable that may be in a given situation. Even if you’re aiming at the bad guy’s head or shooting at him or her point-blank. You are shooting to stop the threat.

Figured I give them a plug. Maybe it'll get back to them and give me a discount! Lol

True, but lots of people don't as well.

Agreed. I only answered the question you asked, however.
