i see a bleak future for gun rights up here

No officer shoots center mass to kill, they shoot center mass as it's the biggest, easiest target. And they're not shooting to kill, they're shooting to stop the threat. If the bad guys goes down and is still alive, but out of the fight, perfect. They're not continuing to shoot to make sure he's dead.

Yes, I know the official line, there's the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I'll leave it at that.

So, in FL. they can get 3 shots off before the guy drops, maybe 6 with practice. Then comes the issue of the double/triple tap, was there still a threat after the first shot and each thereafter? Could be, but probably not, it really hurts to get shot anywhere.

There are numerous examples of people (usually high on drugs) taking multiple handgun rounds and staying in the fight. Unless it's an instant kill shot, handgun rounds aren't all that effective.

Maybe in the movies, real life "meat shots" head, chest etc. tend to stop, or at least slow a threat down enough that a basic louisville slugger can end the threat in it's tracks.

Again, it depends on multiple factors. As I said, there are numerous situations where the bad guy has taken several rounds and kept fighting/advancing.
