Sure. I would even prefer the shooter off himself before he fires a single round. But that's an unlikely scenario.

In self-defense CCW class, among other things, they teach you to draw your weapon, fire one round in the head, and two into the center of mass. Lather, rise, repeat. Aiming for center of mass is only part of effective self defense against an assailant.

There is a big difference between a person who holds a CCW and carries vs. a person who is trained in CCW scenarios.
