Edward, I completely agree with your forward thinking. Although I live in a crowded urban area, I know that from my house to the stop sign is 125 yards, front door to street is 20 yards, neighbor on the right sleeps at the opposite end of his house, etc., etc.

War gaming and "what if's" all serve to enhance your level of personal security. Close study of your surroundings lets you have a plan in advance if trouble happens.

A good example of this is the shift from carbines chambered for pistol calibers to carbines chambered for 5.56 after some forward thinking folks figured out that 5.56 with a SP/JHP actually penetrates less. Made me re-evaluate my Car-15 for HD.

BTW, the fleeing felon laws are (IIRC) completely gone. The test case was in my hometown in the '70's and that doctrine was scrapped.
