In theory, dont these go hand and hand? Say, if YOUR life depended on it, wouldn't the best way to stop a threat be to incapacitate it?
No, certainly not for civilian self-defense. The best way to stop a threat is anything that ceases somebody from being a threat in the shortest time possible. If you are under threat and you pulled a handgun and the threat stopped immediately and left your vicinity then any action on your part to incapacitate anyone would be foolish and possibly illegal. Best is dynamic. Best has to fit into a continuum of force. What is best for you is not the best for anyone else nor may it be the best for every situation. In self-defense your absolute primary goal is to stop the threat. Not to incapacitate. Not to kill.

Well....duh lol
But, you don't have the ability to know what is going to work going into a situation. Hell, your argument, BEST would be to never go outside again. If I happen to be in a situation where I need to stop a threat, I hope my options are more than a 22mag with an inch barrel. I'm going to guess 99% of CCers would agree.
Since the OP is asking our opinion, that's mine.
