Anyway, starts me thinking: what if I was confronted by these guys going to my car? A snubby starts looking like not enough horsepower. Colt Commander or any other eight shot auto? I better be on my game if gun play is required. I don't know, maybe you get one and the others run off. Who knows?
When the criminals start running in packs like wild dogs it all gets a bit dicey.

Two things to keep in mind about people like that...
1. They do tend to run in packs.
2. They do tend to be cowards (that's why they run in packs).
Most real world cases I've read show that everyone scatters like roaches when the shooting starts. You can't always count on it, but it's highly likely that, when they see their friend's brains coming out the back of his head, they all decide to run.
