Multiple armed thugs are a possiblity though not likely at all.

I had 6 attackers waiting for me outside a Denver restaurant one night. I had a earlier run in with their leader over being nasty to a waitress,and he seemed mad over having to leave her a 20 buck tip when he left. Anyhow,there were 6 of them waiting for me,and all I had was my 5 shot 44 Charter Arms "Bulldog" in my pocket with Valmet bullets that were supposed to explode. Anyhow,I put my back to a brick wall,smiled at them,and told them I had a 5 shot revolver in my pocket,and my plan was to gut shoot the first 5,and beat the last guy to death with the revolver. I then sat down and told them to make up their minds who the first 5 to come at me would be,and to take their time because I wasn't in any hurry. They talked it over for a few minutes,and the general conclusion seemed to be their could hear their mamas calling,so they took off.

BTW,I never once thought I would be able to gut shoot 5 of them. One for sure,maybe 2,but then the others would be hauling ass so fast it would scare you. People don't come at you in packs because they are brave. I've never carried a spare magazine or speed loader as a civilian,and probably never will.

I know that I will probably never use 22 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition. I most likely will never even pull my gun in self defense. It's not uncomfortable to me to carry a spare 10 round magazine so I do it. It's always best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Words of wisdom! Great story. I agree with you, if five won't solve your problems, the odds of a speed reload solving them are VERY low.
