When I draw my weapon, I also retreat and/or look for cover for myself and anyone with me.
How many occasions has this happened to you? I guess I've been lucky. Never had to draw and retreat or draw and fire.
I work in property management in the "murder capital of the east coast", Newark/Jersey city, New Jersey. My staff an I all carry and are surrounded by Bloods and Crips during our "tour of duty" as we call it. When we retreat from a situation it's either back to our SUV's or behind a parked vehicle. So far this is a monthly, sometimes weekly occurrence, and the tactics have been encouraged by both LEO's and the Newark &Jersey city's DA's office. The reason being is that no one wants the BG's lawyers to claim that we encouraged or were "looking for a gun fight".
