Distance wasnt my prob...its the shock n suprise of how fast a person closes that 21ft distance. I barely got my gun drawn.
isn't it something like 2-3 seconds to cover that distance?

Same here. My wife calls me paranoid for how much I watch people when I'm out. I notice when people walk behind me, come in from side doors, act strangely, etc. I'm not jumpy or anything, but I try to stay aware of where people are, especially any that are acting strange, I will orient myself where I can see that person the entire time I'm in the vicinity. I'm the same way when I drive, I'll see cars 5 cars ahead of me bobbing back and forth between the white lines, riding their brakes because they are riding someone's ass, etc. I've made it around countless accidents driving from just watching everyone around me like hawk, including almost being rear ended several times, but saw it was about to happen and hit the shoulder to give someone enough time to get stopped.
My wife on the other hand is OBLIVIOUS.
As in she didn't know whom she was marrying...Oblivious. cause you're a shady character.
I gotta explain everything...everyone should know my assh0le sense if humor by now.
thats the truth, Here is what I have learned from experience, when someone physically attacks you, it surprises them when you fight back, sometimes that is the time space you need to draw and fire. I am in no way saying not to draw immediately if you have the chance though.
There are just so many scenarios you have to prepare as best you can and pray that it works if you need it.
1.5 seconds. I looked it up last night after reading another discussion on the board. So you have 1 second to get a shot off pretty much because they already have the upper hand (the known intent), and take into account the .3 seconds it takes your brain to go from recognizing a threat to starting to react, time is not on the defensive person's side.
