The ability to control your environment past close range conversational distances is comforting.

In todays world of active shooters and take over robberies, i want the ability to engage the mutt that walks into a restaurant im eating in and opens fire.

Its nice to say that all you "really" need is the ability to shoot the guy off you, and that you wont engage an active shooter because its not you "job". The reality is that if someone walks into a restaurant and starts shooting people. You will probably not be able to ecsape and its fight or die time.

So, the ability to make 25yd body shots or 15yd head shots is not an unreasonable training goal.
