Well, hopefully I'll never find myself in that situation, but yes, I've considered that possibility.

It sounds like you need to work on your situational awareness.

We are going to be working on this situation A LOT Oct. 15-17 @ the PUC/ECQC class at the Impactzone. There's much to be learned about the dynamic interaction at 0-5ft. distance. What I've seen is that turning sideways limits your mobility greatly. We need to stay mobile to give us options to de-tangle if the contact closes the distance. Putting the gun further from the bg doesn't buy you enough time or room to draw.
