Interesting story of a guy with pink crocs and no weapon, being attacked my 2 armed men bent on murder.
The determination to win pulled Mr. pink crocs through.

Shooting back in a moving vehilce is most likely not the option to exercise. Engaging in evasive tactics and getting the heck out of there is probably the best move.
I certainly won't be considering who might come after me later while I'm being used as moving target practice. Just my opinion.
Evade if possible...escalate to your firearm if you have to...but the goal is to come out of it alive so you are around to worry about the future.

Face it. If a criminal attempts to attack or rob you, there are no great outcomes. All we can do is try to get the best outcome we can.
I dissagree...
You matter a heck of a lot more than a criminal that attacks you...If you reasonably determine that force (deadly or not) is necessary to stop that attack...
Then I'd much rather hear someone from Smithville successfully defending themselves...That is the best outcome...
Right???
Oh sure. Certainly better than the other way around.
But what I meant is that any outcome where someone has to get shot is not a good one.

I'm not so sure.
Thoughts?
Due to his psychology, your co-manager has already lost this fight and all other fights before they even began.
If you think like a loser that you can never win, then you will lose.
FWIW it was a she. She seems pretty liberal but this really surprised me.
For all the aggies out there, this girl went to UT
Anyway...

This was in the humble area.

I'd think that this would be one way to end a family's blood line. You know its a Clark family get together when everyone passes around their carry pieces.
Honestly, you guys can flame away all you want, but there is only a single situation where the law goes completely out the window in my book. That is when my family's lives are in imminent danger, if one of them were actually killed in something like this...I don't even know what I would do. Whatever it is couldn't reflect well upon me.
