I don't think so. It doesn't make sense.The 3-3-3 is but an example of the qualification run....
Yes indeed. Not unlikely at all....and certainly an attacker might even be within 9 feet of you, ...
Of course not.Or are you saying that all assailants are expected to stay more than 3 yards from you at all times?
Of course. The discussion was about three shots in three seconds. That might occur, but it would be extremely unlikely for a defender to be afforded that much time at a short distance.However, it doesn't seem unreasonable that after drawing the gun from concealment a proficient shot could still get off three shots in a second or less, even if that means pumping one or two slugs at nearly or contact distances.
People sometimes say 5, 5, and 5. Sometimes people interchange feet and yards. They often attribute the source to "the FBI".
If you perform the FBI drill, you will shoot at varying distances, often very rapidly, often firing many more than three times.
