You must have a pretty decent mile pace, and explode off the line when needed. Stacks odds and probabilities in your favor. A fighting chance that I have no doubt many on this board would be calculating (albeit subconsciously) as they close and engage the target.
My distance pace or movement off my own spot relates only to that instant in front of me at the moment described, not to a MMQB'd Aurora theater shooting. I related that because I take TS's point seriously, that far too many people think things will be fine if they can keep an ID'd threat out at this 21-ft distance that has gotten way more airplay than it should. Just like they watch some outdoor shooting show & think 2 to the chest, 1 to the head, stand-back & assess will work without fail just 'cause they shot a pretty group on some static D1's.

There's very little Guv-mandated I'm in favor of; but I believe it's in folks' interest to seek out on their own varied, dynamic training. If nothing else, it can help one assess their own limitations.
