I'm not saying that I would respond to 2-3 muggers, or a flash mob; by only shooting one with the assumption the rest will run........ I'm suggesting that how a confrontation may play out will be influenced by the attackers motivation.

So if you are "preparing" for a mugging/burglar one or two J-frame .38s may be enough..... most of the time.....LOL

If you think and are "preparing" for ISIL/ISIS coming to your home town.....then your Thompson might be a "good start!!!"
