Disarming - Blog Posts

Five foot rule exists for a reason. If you get within arms reach of someone, you are begging to be disarmed, stay outside their arms reach, roughly 5 feet, and you can react to any aggressive action they made toward you. If you're standing five or six feet back and someone on their knees lunges at you for your weapon, you should have more than enough time to react. There is literally no reason to stand any closer, if you're that bad of a shot at 5 feet you shouldn't be handling a firearm.
