Please let me clarify the so called "21 ft." rule.
Two thumbs up, Big Cholla, for this explanation of the widely-referenced "21-foot rule."
I had no idea when I posted this thread that it would elicit such a good explanation of where this all came from.
I've always thought that if an attacker was running at me, and I didn't know anything about it ahead of time, that I would have a hard time identifying the threat, deciding to act, drawing my weapon, and firing before he reached me in 21 feet or so. I don't train to do this, and I doubt many of us do. Your LEO training serves as a valuable, valuable lesson to us armed civilians, and believe me, I will add some sort of this training to my own regimen.
Thanks again, sir!
