Just a quick question: Do you have to wait until you are getting your head smashed into the pavement before you can take steps to defend yourself with a firearm?

And if so, just how are you assured you will be conscience enough to act defensively if you take a hard hit that drives you to the ground?

Maryland State Police Spokeswoman Elena Russo said the autopsy on Harvey showed he was shot three times. “None of the wounds showed evidence of being fired at close range,” she said.

What is “close range?”

Someone getting within arms reach can certainly take you down (and out) before you have a chance to fire.

I think I read 21 feet is about the closest you can allow someone to come, any closer than that and you can’t avoid direct physical contact. . .and try shooting someone that unexpectantly bolts at you from 21-feet.
