You don’t let them get in from 0 to 3 yards. Anything 20-25 feet or closer if you aren’t already drawn and on target they’ll probably be able to get to you. Not saying they’ll kill you but I’m saying they may be able to get a hit on you.
Exactly.
It would have been a clean kill, justified shooting had Kevin not given it up.
If you know a person is a threat, then you do not let them approach you at all.
However being in crowded areas, you can’t help but have people get close to you that you do not know are threatening. Of course no one would carry around a two headed battle axe.
A sturdy walking cane just might beat a gun or knife at close quarters if you have learned to use it well. One heavy enough to break an arm or crack a skull.
