If I were in the woods like that, I would be carrying something bigger than a snubby and the wife would be carrying even if it were only pepper spray or a stun gun. That would give us a little better odds. Forget shooting someone at that distance though. I know I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at that distance. Yeah, pop off a warning shot away from the wife and keep running. As far as the legal aspects, who is going to be thinking about that while watching the wife being mauled by thugs?

Thanks for all the replies folks.
My point in posting this thread was to try to open some minds. Just because a situation is "impossible" or "hard" to imagine, doesn't mean it can't happen, and it could happen to you.
If one is content to shoot to a max of seven yards and closer and never consider any possibility of a need for further, well, ok.
But some people aren't limited by a magic 21 foot distance. The old man my OP wasn't one such. He thought he knew better than to have such a piece for his primary and he normally didn't. But then he also thought he'd be safe, too. You may rest assured he never made that mistake again.
Here's one you doubters can Google. A while back at the Air Force base in Spokane Washington there was an active shooter. He was killed by an Air Police officer, with his issue Berreta 92. One shot in the neck. I'm unsure of the range but it something like 76 yards, or 87 yards or some such. I remember I was impressed at the time.
Some people can shoot. So think outside the comfort zone a bit, you never know either what you may need or what you could do if you tried.

nodopubt anythng can happen ONCE. Just not sure how one can actually practice at 100 yards and feel he has any real knowledge where his PM9 or J frame is going to go evne. At 10 yards and under I feel faily confident it will be in a 1 foot area and maybe in a panic situation, ten maybe within a 3 foot area. At least I would hope. now magnify that out to 100 yards and yhou have a possable hit area of 30+ feet. Again if my ex wife was out there, I would gamble and shoot it like I stole it

I never had an ex. Guess I thrive on ongoing pain, suffering and mental anxiety all the way to a slow painful ulcer ridden culmination of relief by death.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

With all our "EX's" mentioned here, maybe we ought to start a sympathy club or sumpin like that. George Strait sang a song about too. Must be crowded in Tennessee.
My poor EX is departed now so I'll leave it at that.Comment

In her current mind set I'm sure my current (first and last) hopes I depart soon. The sooner the better. I'm certainly worth more gone than I am alive. You think life insurance companies were invented by women? Probably not, if you wack yourself they don't pay and they would have thought of that and made changes to encourage you to wack away.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!
