We all understand that most self-defense is very close range, from contact out to two or three yards. I got to thinking somehow about how a self-defense carbine would be zeroed in, and from there to what the longest range for self-defense would be.
Since a carbine is home defense (as opposed to CCW), most incidents would be indoors. In my house, that would put the max at about 30 feet (10 yards). Other houses might go to 50 feet or so, I suppose. I don't suppose outdoors would be much longer except in very rare circumstances. A carbine might be used against an animal, but let's exclude that situation.
Is a range over 10 yards a 1:100 situation, or 1:1000, or what? Anyone have an idea?
