mmmmhm...i've had a fascination with guns growing up around the ranch. however, i was not allowed to have one until i was 18. i then bought a .380 at a pawn shop to begin my entry to gun ownership. since then, i've owned/ fired handguns ranging in calibers fromm .22lr-10mm. i am familiar with what they are capable of doing. So, i don't hunt. i've also fired shotguns, rifles and "assault" weapons. i don't carry and would use a handgun as a last resort. with that in mind, i've always fired handguns to put rounds downrange at the 7 yard mark. i know i am a proficient shot..i just don't get the point of shooting targets at greater distances. i dunno. i've been in altercations both verbal and physical. i keep a quiet, safe and troublefree lifestyle. i don't live in a "war-like" area. therefore, i can't think of a scenario where i'd be forced to use a handgun for defensive/personal protection purposes at say 25 yds, 30 yds, 50 yds..i always wonder under what situations would ordinary folks realistically perceive having to use/have used deadly force at such distances. i'm asking the average handgun owner, no LE, military or competition shooters..so, what's your thinking? for the record, i've yet to use a handgun to defend my life. i hope i never do. YMMV..
