[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2996336, member: 10465"] You guys who are talking about multiple attackers...do you really have a reasonable expectation you can win a gunfight with 5, 4, 3...even 2 bad guys? I mean, just because you have plenty of ammo in your carry gun and a spare mag or two, what do you think those bad guys are gonna do? Stand there like bowling pins waiting for you to shoot them? No; in all likelihood it will not happen, and if you do get into a fight with a group of thugs, you may shoot 1 and the rest scatter like leaves in the wind. You hope. But if that group is determined to kill you, you will probably die. Sure, you may get 1 of them, but then you take a shot to say...your weak arm. Ouch! ****, that hurts like hell! Then you manage to shoot a second bad guy; the rest disperse and now you are in the reload mode, but your weak arm doesn't function as you've trained it to do...up **** creek without a paddle, you think...then you have take another round in the gut; and you think your arm hurt before? That's nothing like being gutshot.
