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.
Wow, you certainly are a rational thinker! I guess you’re trying to say an armed individual is justified, in your mind, killing an unarmed individual because they have come within 21 feet of the armed individual?
Seriously, you should have given yourself the user name ‘Francis’ instead of Hulka. That way I’d feel better saying “Lighten Up Francis” to you.
I’m not sure why I’m seeing so many folks in this thread defending this shooting (without have all or even many of the facts). I’m guessing some are either cop/leather lovers or are the type of folks who feel road rage with regularity and thus can identify with the acting out of that type of rage.
