Good for him, always good to see a good guy win. That said, I do have one concern; if the assailant was only 8 feet away and he shot twice how did he miss the kid? Really, 8 feet, heck my wife could hit everything in front of her from over 15 feet the day she brought her new Bersa .380 handgun home and fired it for the very first time. Sounds like he needs to spend a little less time walking around in bad areas of town until he does more range time, until then it sounds like he might be more of a danger to those around him than the criminals he might encounter.

Most "gun fights" happen within 25' or less so the practice needs to be repetitive in that range if someone is not a hunter and carries only for protection..two tap center mass and pause

Correct and that is how smart people practice and improve their shooting skills, missing twice from 8 feet away from someone that has also fired their weapon is not the sign of a person that has done much in the way of preparing to actually use the gun their are carrying. I have zero problem with people carrying guns, but come on folks use some common sense, if you do not actually practice and learn how to use the tool properly you may be as much a danger to yourself and those around you as you are to those you are trying to defend against. Hopefully now that the dust has cleared he will realize some serious range time is in order.
