If you chance upon a group of men attacking and raping a woman should you not pull your weapon (whether a gun or knife) to help her because they are unarmed? You can try talking to them if you choose, but more than likely you will be their next victim.

At a predetermined signal the attacker runs full speed at the potential victim. The shooter must draw his weapon and shoot the attacker without backing up (if he backs up he is adding distance and it is no longer 20 feet).
It was found that the attacker could travel the distance of 20 feet in 1.5 seconds! At 20 feet the shooter was able to fire the weapon and hit the attacker just as he reached and stabbed the shooter and at any distance closer than this the man with the knife was ALWAYS able to stab the shooter before he could be shot. That’s how the determination of 21 feet was established for the minimum amount of distance for safety.
