Getting jumped or mugged

I Have often wondered if in a situation like that, Pull to Ready, Menacing?
I would say "non-lethal deterrent"
but that's me.

Unless you are in Denver, I suppose you could go from concealed to open carry in a matter of seconds, if that doesn't deter them, they are looking for serious trouble and it's time to handle business.

My two cents would be put distance between you and the aggressor or aggressors. And do your absolute best to diffuse the situation. Toss them a wallet, or tuck tail and run. Personally I have no issue with running away.

If they were to keep it up and become very violent, and not keep the distance I have tried to maintain the game has changed. Menacing a weapon at that point would not be a concern to me, my life would be, 3-4 on one, potentially under the influence is not a safe environment. I would most likely draw or announce I was armed and assess the situation.

Have a cell, call 911. Do your best to not draw and use your weapon. Unless it is life or death.

Just my 2 cents not any sort of legal advice haha.

If you have your CCW, you should have gone through many many scenarios and legal circumstances with your instructor as Byte mentioned. It's almost scary to see this kind of question being thrown around in this section.

You know, I started a thread in the CCW section specifically to address various situations. I thought it was a good thread.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Yeah, too bad our opinions and thoughts don't count in real situation. I know it's not fun, but consult your lawyer if you want to hear a real answer.

There is no such things as too much Info though...
Maybe he is a recently discharged Vet?
THOSE things are not covered...

Hold on, the fights are on. Basically some dicks were hopped up on shit and looking for trouble in the parking garage. They stood in front of my car so I couldn't drive out. When the prick finally moved, he kicked my car as I drove by. I stopped, got out and got beat up. I'd never been in a fight before. I shouldn't have gotten beat up, but I didn't do anything.

Police/Court response: So you were free to go, safe and unharmed in your car and then you stopped and got out and were assaulted because someone kicked your car?

Should have kept driving to a safe location and contacted police.

I have gone through the CCW class and I am waiting on my permit.
These types of questions were answered in the class and I read and understand the laws. I asked the questions to gain more information and get peoples thoughts and opinions on what they would do if they were in that situation.

This is one of the reasons I started this thread.

Yep, that's why if I had a gun at the time, I couldn't have really gotten out of the car, just kept driving. Should have done done that anyway I guess.
