I've known folks in gangs before. They were early reps of the first chapters in my region. This was back in maybe '93 or '94. They were out of it before I knew them. Truth is, nobody bothers with h2h, except for beat ins. Not out here, anyway.
It's more like drive by the guys house real slow and gat it. Or sneak up behind the guy and knife him (more likely just shoot him, though). They don't give you a chance, because you might have the gun, or be the Tank Abbott.
Honestly, I doubt many folks expect to survive a gang encounter -- a real gang encounter. We train to beat random drunks, bar brawlers, muggers, rapists, and to do what we have to when nothing else works. Going up against five thug mofos with Tek 9s isn't going to work. Just accept it. Run. You'll probably still die though. Yes, even you marathon men. LOL
I stay away from bad parts of town, and I don't carry a lot of cash. All my cards have my face on them. I carry a knife, a telescopic baton, and a kubaton at all times. If I see five guys who look like they want trouble, I'll do my best to not be noticed.
