So, spare mags, yes. Seeing as these goblins tend to work in packs, I always take a couple. Kydex is amazing in its ability to last for years on end through all the sweat exposure that CCW in Florida usually entails.

MANATEE, Fla. (AP) — A group of unruly teenagers attacked a 27-year-old Marine and his wife who had asked them to be quiet during a Christmas night showing of "Little Fockers."
The attack happened as the couple left the theater near Bradenton Saturday night. Authorities say the fight attracted about 300 bystanders.
Federico Freire, home on leave from Afghanistan, says they left the theater shortly after the teens were asked to leave.
The couple was kicked and punched in the parking lot before a gun-brandishing witness told the crowd to step back just before deputies arrived.

Totally agree.........
As social and economic breakdown gets worse, it’s going to have to come to that; the sooner the better as far as I’m concerned. The so-called “justice” system is completely broken and corrupt, with a few pockets of honesty left. But the rules are now so tilted in favor of corruption and insanity it needs to get scrapped and a whole new system put in its place.
I know personally 3 innocent people whose lives were severely damaged due to false charges and so on. Two did jail time.
Thanks for confirming what I already knew. ANY TIME you her this sort of thing done by large numbers (a gang that is). especially if it is a female gang...well...you know that animal violence is the culprit.
Tell me you’re joking...
He DID try and make an exit. He sent his wife off to remove her from the situation. What the hell is wrong with you? Brandishing that weapon was not irresponsible, it was life saving. I’m sure you’re no lib but BOY do you sound like one in this post.
Decent qualifier.

not the article I was hoping to find, but provides a pic of the incidents.
South Florida and multiple assailants seem to go together. Keep a spare mag or two, and a light on your hip, maybe a backup.
No offense to local Freepers, but I have reasons to dislike visiting there.
I found numerous other incidents. Would think if I were in the car, not getting pulled out would be a priority. Out of a car ...
I suspect it would be national news in either case.
Give them enough rope, they always hang themselves. They can’t help themselves. Kinda like those that used to call Rush Limbaugh,” I have been a Republican/Conservative for _____, but this time ,I am voting ____”.
So, spare mags, yes. Seeing as these goblins tend to work in packs, I always take a couple. Kydex is amazing in its ability to last for years on end through all the sweat exposure that CCW in Florida usually entails.
Marine, wife attacked at movie theater
Note that no mention whatsover is given to the fact that an armed citizen kept the mob at bay before the police arrive -- that all-important fact is simply flushed down the memory hole.
Not surprising -- this propaganda-sheet stopped carrying classifieds for firearms several years ago, under some self-righteous pretenses. They make no effort to disguise their blatant contempt of the very idea of armed citizens.
My CHL instructor made clear, you should really only draw if you intend to kill. And if you do brandish, it's in your interest to only do it if no one finds out about it except the potential attacker. I.E. Don't tell the police that you ran someone off by brandishing.
Did they name the town after her?
Lol....agree.
Stay Safe !
Did you even read the article or are you just an anti-gun libtard?
These kids were out for blood. Under such circumstances, could he still be charged with attacking children with possibly lethal response if he’d punched their heads and kicked their kidneys?
Most of the Army H2H combat training today consists of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Taking the fight to the ground in a mob situation is a recipe for getting yourself kicked to death.
Against those numbers you need a weapon. As we read in the story. What stopped the assault was an armed citizen who backed the crowd off with a handgun.
I was subjected to an inane argument by an OCD, silly freeper on a thread here months ago (I forget his freeper handle). He ridiculed me in several posts for posting that I carry a couple hi-cap magazines when I go out with my family. His 'reasoning' was that I should not take my family where I thought I may need 45 rounds of ammo. My reasoning is that a mob scenario may break out in too many places to not be properly prepared.
This incident perfectly illustrates why I'll continue with carrying my reliable sidearm and a couple of hi-cap mags where ever I may be.
Anyone who acts like that is an animal, pure and simple. No physical trait matters, it’s the actions only.
