You're fcked.
I try not to bullshit people, especially about self-protection. When people come to me and present a scenario like that, I tell them straight. Outnumbered, outweighed and outgunned is a no-win scenario. People who say otherwise will be teaching you using rare and extreme examples, and that is misleading people. Unless you are exceptional, don't listen to exceptional circumstances.
The question I usually ask is, what is it you are doing in your life that leads you to believe this is a situaton you will encounter? 99.99% of people will never experience this situation. The remaining 0.01% will do so because of:
- The job they do, therefore they will be trained and probably well armed
- They make very bad lifestyle choices, so you reap what you sow
- They are incredibly unfortunate
Thoughts about the latter just breed paranoia, like should I walk round carrying a weapon? If you were ever really that unlucky, then yeah having a weapon is better than no weapon. The question is, do you want to carry a weapon every day of your life just in case you walk round the corner to meet your doom at the hands of 5 thugs? I don't train in speedo trunks every day, just in case I get jumped at the pool. I just don't have the package to pull that off.....if you'll pardon the expression
