in the US, legally, by civilian, google for it, it's been studied and is legit. now, well under 10,000 punks get shot during these attempted crimes, so it's very rare for the good guy to have to fire at all, and a lot more rare to have to actually hit someone with a bullet to stop them. so speed of getting the gun out, ON the azzhat,, in time for him to see it and flee, is far, far more important than the (very slow) accuracy of which 99.% of the population is capable.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I said 1 million to be more realistic. criticism is not the same thing as 'proven incorrect', you know. 
I just wanted guys to see how seldom it is necessary to even fire, much less hit anybody, IF you have a gun, and IF you get it pointed at the offender early enough in the confrontation, from enough distance.
