If one were to stroll over to KeepandBearArms.com, which keeps track of as many self defense shootings as possible, the number of shooting involving multiple assailants is quite high. Not only thay but if you go back to when they first started, you will note that the numbers of multiple attacker shootings are a growing trend

How many shootings with multiple armed attackers have you been involved in?

There's a gentlman sitting next to me who is a former patrolman and detective with a large agency in North Texas who has been in several shooting with multiple badguys, he says none ever gave up or surrendered after the first shots. Only when they realized they had lost did they give it up. But hey, gunfights are fluid situations and cannot know what is going to happen in them.

How wrong can you get? I dont know whats worse, the fact that you made that claim, that you believe that non-sense, or that you are spreading it.
