Wow, sorry you experienced that Reaper. That's awful shit man. I would love to have a weapon in that situation too. As for the punching though, you would throw away your life to shoot them in the end? Totally not worth it. Things sure are different than when I grew up. If somebody tried to fight you, you threw fists and when one fell it was over unless they came back at you. Though it seems nowadays THAT's not even safe anymore. A guy I work with defended himself at 3am at a wafflehouse and the 1st punch he hit the guy with the guy fell and hit his head on the ground. Killed him. He is now not at my work and is serving 10 years in prison. I feel for the guy.
