Perps' violence can turn on in a second. One will never know the perps' drug stupor, rage, gang initiation ritual, or plan, if any.

I know of a slightly built asian who was stripped ready for prostate pounding, but for a random turning car's headlights putting the pecker perp on center stage.

I knew a young victim of late night burglery turned rape, who after the initial triple threat assaults, had her face and breasts and ribs crushed by the brick she used as a "security" door stop. Her blood dripped from her ceiling. Perp ... never caught. She went nuts.

Would you let a molester fondle, strip, or rape your lady? Child, girl or boy? Would you let first contact occure without your physical intervention? Would you let one or more perps tie you down as they have their way with her, perhaps you too, as you watch - before you are then both shot or quietly slashed ear to ear? When you can not tell what perps will do, why would you not act? Unarmed?

The FBI's 7 yard threat rule stands, off property. However, anyone on property 30 minutes after sundown is fair game. Pursuant to established law, one can assume the trespassing perp is armed and a mortal threat or thief of valuable property.

Recently I had unattended, stashed in the brush tools used in gathering 150-400# oak trunk for firewood from a neighbor's front yard. Stolen near dusk - a 3' bow saw and 6' prybar - both are quite deadly weapons in their own right. Had I come around the corner while they were being stolen, I would had acted to retrieve my property from thusly deadly armed criminals - not waiting for further confirmation of other weapons. Yes, sick of this permanent crime wave social cancer, I would fight over $50 tools (MY tools): never bring just a hand truck to a saw blade and steel spear fight.
