I like that, to Deanimate someone. <lol>
I suppose it's the right word to use though. As our reason for shooting someone is never to kill them. But rather to prevent them from committing certain crimes or causing serious bodily injury or death to someone else or myself.
For pete's sakes never aim at a particular point like a head or heart. But simply take aim at center mass because it is the largest therefore supposedly easiest target to hit on the human body. If the heart or other organs happens to get hit, oh well. But I'd never tell someone my intention was to kill them or my aim was for something other than center mass.
As far as warnings are concerned, about the only one I can think of which MAY help the good guy are verbal commands. But they aren't a necessity, it all depends on the situation.
