And a fine illustration of the principle that you can't know ahead of time what you will need to be able to do to solve the problem.

Sure we practice close range sudden encounter shooting a lot but you never know. Some nutjob with a rifle you see 50 yards away killing people may have to be stopped. Rare? Yes. Possible? Yes.
So make it your hobby to shoot, not just a necessity, and you will become a good all around shot (and that is what McGivern wrote about in his book. That's Ed McGivern of 'fast and fancy shooting'.
And Clyde,
My M1 Carbine is my 'go to' long gun. Yes I have AR, AK, and sharpshooter rifles but that Carbine, if I go prone, will do 100 yard head shots with Remington 110 SPs all day. Fine little gun.
But I can do chest shots at 100 yards with my Glocks if I also go prone.
