IF we assume that one made a polite request, and was quickly assaulted by multiple knife-wielding attackers in response, and that one is legally armed....
I would probably draw and fire if the attackers kept advancing within 20ft.
1. Knife attacks are VERY dangerous when started from ~20ft...i.e. justification exists.
2. Most shooters can hit COM at less than 20ft.
The important assumptions of that scenario are the defendent NOT taking any escalating action except legally defending themselves against a potentially lethal attack, and the shot(s) fired were aimed well enough to be very likely to hit the assailants.
