It is interesting to see the 40 to 50 yards mentioned. I have seen people on gun forums challenge why anyone would need to shoot that far for carry. Well, this is a good example. Not quite the scenario I have heard mentioned but certainly a good one. I haven't been to Memorial City mall in Houston in quite a while, but I think it is easily 100 yards across that food court. I heard someone mention just the distance across the main walk ways in a good sized mall can be a pretty good distance for pistol shooting.
