Excellent book, even though some of that stuff is considered outdated. I believe what is meant is, if somebody hits you with a cheap shot, no, you can't shoot him. Once the hit and run is over, there is no more threat. But, if the person is trying to beat the crap out of you, by all means shoot. Getting hit in the wrong spot can damage you for the rest of your life. In addition, when somebody is manhandling you that close, they could feel and pull out your gun and shoot you with it. So, you want to draw before giving him the opportunity to do so.

That is my take on it, although I may need to reread that part to fully remember and understand it.

Gun control can be blamed in part for allowing 9/11 to happen.
