How could you assert that if you're 25 yards away from a threat, you're not in immediate danger?
Just because you're carrying a reactionary weapon (handgun), there's no guarantee your attacker won't have a rifle.
How far is it from your door to your child's bus stop? From your car to your spouse's work entrance? From your rear yard to your front yard?
The vast majority of defensive handgun uses are at a few feet, but if you count on NEVER needing to deploy your handgun at a longer distance, you're just not thinking it through.
