Default Re: maximum defensive engagement range

As far as I know there is no defined ma range. However you going to need to be able to convince the PD and the DA that the threat was immediate and you couldn't wait one more second. Generally if your assailant is armed with a blade the 21 foot rule usually applies. If the BG is in a "technical" and armed with Ma Deuce and your in open terrain, I would say your pretty much unlimited.
