That click bait has been hashed out for decades.
If you’re not visually confirming the sights are on the target, you’re irresponsible.

“If you’re not visually confirming the sights are on the target, you’re irresponsible.”

I started plinking about 70 years ago. Call me irresponsible.

In an encounter at arms-length, or closer, the priority becomes getting some rounds into him before he can stick you.

“If you’re not visually confirming the sights are on the target, you’re irresponsible.”

If you are four or five feet away and lining up sights on target, you are poorly trained, slow, and probably likely to lose.

No. The situation depends more on any one rule. Point shooting for close range is adequate. You obviously never had anyone within 10 ft that you thought you might need to draw on.

Uh, no. Not in a close in situation. Point shooting is perfectly valid and appropriate then.
