IMO the best way to handle a looter is with a shotgun loaded with some #4 buckshot. One shot to the head and their brains are jello and that is plenty effective. Tip, if your shooting a pump keep about 10 lbs. of tension on the forearm so it comes slamming back as soon as the gun is fired and the bolt unlocks. Remember to bounce the slide off that full back position and slam it home and you can get 2 hits within 0.2 second.

BTW, if you take up Shooting Skeet after about a year of weekly practice you'll be proficient enough with a shotgun that a head shot is a 100% certainty at any distance under 15 yards. You'll also be at the point where you can reliably hit the pairs at stations 1 and 7. Which means you'll have the skill to hit two separate targets about as quickly as you can clap your hands twice.

I like your way of thinking......applies to Bullseye shooting as well.
I have done both, but today's environment is not on the side of the victim around here.

Zombie, Aliens, Predator, and Terminator movies don’t have this problem.

This shows the importance of Sheriffs to our freedoms, being an elected position who is above petty councils and mayors.

I was once visiting with a Utah Highway Patrol buddy who mentioned that they wouldn’t arrest anybody for something (which I forget the offense) because the local Sheriff said not to. I think it was some gun offense, like carrying loaded without a permit, when that was a thing. Anyway, I mentioned that, as a State officer, why would he care about the county Sheriff. He said the Sheriff is the king, and can cripple the UHP if he wanted to by refusing all admittance to his jail.

I found it very interesting, and it shows why our jails are run by an elected official and not a hired one. Piss off the Sheriff, and anybody you arrest would just ride around in the back of your cruiser forever?
