I've seen lot's of comments over the years on the net about how any longer range self defense is: gonna get you in trouble, can't be done, shouldn't be done, won't get done as there would never be a need, etc. Let me tell y'all a little story.
This is a true story. You believe it, or not, up to you. This happened some years back and was never reported to John Law, for various and sundry reasons.
A man and his wife went on vacation in their RV. They park way at the back of a virtually empty camp ground. They both get out to walk the front of the park, which is a ways.
She has some health issues that crop up now and again, (and so did he) and they did. So she parks herself on a nearby bench, reassuring her man that she'll be fine, "What could go wrong?"
On the way back, his wife comes into veiw and she's still on the bench, but she's no longer alone. Two guys are there, and they ain't friendly, they're taunting, pushing and generally terrorizing her. Hasn't got bloody yet, but he knows it's coming. This sort of attack is quite common in this area at this time. They always injure, sometimes rape, sometimes kill.
Now, he is armed, sort of. A two inch five shot, the range is long, probably between 100 and 150 yards.
He knows he can't cover that distance in time to save her. What do you do? What did he do?
He laid down prone. Knowing that she was very close, that he had but five shots and time was short.
The first round the bad guys didn't even notice. They did the second, but they thought it was pretty funny after a moment of shock. At the third round, the taller one screamed and they both became track stars.
His wife was fine, and they to booked out of there. Fortunatly the office was closed and no one knew they were there.
Just one example. Still sure you'll never, ever need to shoot at distance with your CCW?

I know I'd never trust myself at that distance with my wife in close proximity.
I am addicted to brake fluid...don't worry I can
