In life or death situations, threats are going to be moving, and so should you. Movement straight forward or back is not good. It can cause stumbling, and it is not visually confusing to an attacker. Sideways, backwards oblique, or angular motion is better. The object of motion should be to use available cover for a shield against bullets, to use concealment, which only hides from view, or to reach a position offering a better shot. Even in the home, it is generally much safer to wait behind cover than it is to search for trouble.
