The 21' rule my understanding is that it was made up by Hollywood
Well fact or fiction what's your thoughts
I heard this was made up for a script in Hollywood for a cop movie or show, then have read it over and over repeated on the interntet social groups. Never did hear in in the LE Training. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/a...ing-shootings/ Oh here we go Justified - The 21 Foot Rule

FBI statistics show most police involved gunfights occur with 7 yards. Seems like that would apply to civilians too.

J.m.h.o.
I don't think it was made up by Hollywood. This comes from actual police injury cases. A perp can cover 21' in less time that you can perceive the threat and react to it.

That's if your pistol is holstered and and at your side. I'm about 20 feet from my front door, in my recliner and have to get the firearm off the table beside the recliner. I'm not sure the 1-2 second time is long enough.
