21 feet is still taught in LE academies.
I know guys who are MUCH better with a knife than a gun at close distance and some who would cut off their finger before inflicting any harm to a grappling opponent. Comes down to your level of training, strength and will to fight.
My comments aside, I would bank on Wyosmith's comments in #4.
I too found Askins comments to be either hyperbole or he was a psychopath as JohnKSa said. As such, I have never put much credence into his opinions, like many of today's current "famous warriors". However, Cooper, Shaw, Lamb, Seeklander (for example)...much respect for their opinions. When you are around them, you can tell they are men and warriors of substance, but who also care for the souls of men.
