The 21 Foot Rule...Thoughts And Advice

I'll protect my buddy....

 

Who? Oh, you mean my dear friend who died in the bear attack? A fine man, just a bit of a stick in the mud, no sense of humor.  He stumbled when I hit him in the knee with the rod case. I thought it was in good fun, but the language he used! Really, he never could take a joke. Poor devil.

If I'm in bear country with a buddy FQ, he's someone whom I would trust with my life.  Like the Marines, leave no one behind, excluding the MIL!   

In all fairness, my MIL was stricken with Alzheimers in her mid 50's so she really was a sweet women for the short time I got to know her.

Outside of condition one,....we can look at this quick re-enactment and think no problem, but it is plausible threat, and you better have your "A" game. Especially if your with your wife/girlfriend/kids, even your Mother-In-Law.

What about the same guy walking on the path carrying a small cooler in one hand and a blanket over the hand holding the knife.

Chances are he will get within 5 feet before he drops the blanket and tosses the cooler.

Some how I think if I saw a guy peeking out from behind a tree with his hand behind his back that should he then charge, he''d be dead in 3 steps

Who said "the best place to have a gun is in your hand"?  That would apply in either of the previous situations.

Pretty sure it was Clint Smith.
This is why pocket carry is so popular, you can walk along with your pistol already in your hand and no one has a clue.

In an LFI 1 class we did the Tueller Drill. The average time for the 23 person class was 1.74 seconds.

The scenarios mentioned are why it is important to have some sort of unarmed defensive plan.
