This topic is subjective and is entirely "...what if..." There isn't a full set of details and the question is about practice at a range.

The whole issue about carrying is having the need as no other option exists. Otherwise, why do you carry and/or why did you draw your gun in the first place?

I'm not talking about a 15 yard shot but something less.

Doesn't have to be at home - it could be anywhere.

I have confidence in my skills (you may call me a BSer if you wish). Could I take a shot with my love one's in danger? I don't know...but when I practice that is just one of the things I think about.

If I felt the shot was necessary - I know good and well I could take it.
