100%. I've thought many times about the situation and had they had any sense they could have still had a chance because I wasn't prepared at the time to take a life. I was the perfect description of what you were pointing out.

When I pulled two of the guys immediately ran. The third stayed and kept punching me in the face lol if they had all just rushed my arms it could have went many other ways.

This isn't to say I don't train wiht my firearms on the reg either. I could go from holstered to a shot in quick fashion but being ready to take a life was a different thing for me. I'm honestly lucky it played out the way it did. I commend you for all the points you make. I just had to make the point for anyone reading that guns can save your ass lol https://files.freespeech.casa/media/0f563fe2cfdf180cb104586b95873379a0c1fdcfbc301a80c8255f33d15f039d/1ecc5a2a8cb1dfe82ea7b0a9c94edde20d29fea5a6ac035de99473f3aa284e10.webp https://files.freespeech.casa/media/0f563fe2cfdf180cb104586b95873379a0c1fdcfbc301a80c8255f33d15f039d/fc75d250ebd3adcfd115d3b641e03100953f664a4db56251d69356028fcb2707.webp
