Another hypothetical situation

4 guys chased you with weapons and are closing in..

and cutting off retreat?
Draw and Aim now! BTN (between the nipples) of the nearest or one with most immediately dangerous weapon.
While drawing. Firmly loudly 'Stop Now'
Quickly and firmly and loudly 'Leave that way Now' (Pointing or head nod) To give you a safer direction to exit and firmly and confidently take command of the situation.

At the sight of the handgun 999 times out of a 1000 they will immediately stop and leave.

Failure to stop ... immediately light up the nearest or perceived most dangerous one quickly followed by the others who did not comply. Second helpings as appropriate.

At 50 ft, IMHO, the number of perps, their behavior, the secluded location and their weapons negates any serious consideration of the 21 ft so called rule. If all 4 charged, you would be lucky to get more than 2 before they contacted you.

Same deal with or without the child present. The kid is potentially a fatal distraction for you -- stay 100% with the situation.

I agree, the 21 foot rule is about 1 gun with a knife. Not 4 guys. You would feasable need 84 feet if you followed this rule, and tacked on 21 feet per guy.
 
Canoecrasher opined, . . . "Many CCW holders choose to carry revolvers".

Although there is a relatively small chance any of us will ever be in any shoot out, . . . this is the type of scenario that is becoming all too common. Very few weeks go by that we don't see where 2, 3, 4 or more assailants take down one victim, . . . usually with deadly results.

In total preference, I would any day prefer a blued 4 inch Python. Trouble is, it won't take care of this situation like my 1911 with an 8 shot mag and one in the tube. Six rounds is bare minimum for 4 perps, . . . 9 is a whole lot better, . . . and two more 8 round mags, . . . makes the scenario better for me, at least IMHO.

Say, Winterbourne, I like your verbal command in this scenario. DA or no DA, it would go down like that in Ohio for me also, . . . I can't hardly walk and chew gum at the same time, . . . shooting and commanding probably won't work either.

May God bless,

I normally carry 10+1 and 13 spare for my Glock 30, and have ever since a friend told me about the four guys who jumped out of a car and started towards her while she was out jogging.
