A group of 8-10 kids can kill you.

For your situation, you did the right thing.

If you were cornered, you'd likely have the right to draw. Here in AZ, you can use a firearm against an attacker that has a deadly weapon (gun or knife) or a dangerous weapon (anything else that can cause serious harm. baseball bat, golf club, crowbar, etc). You CANNOT bring out a gun during a fist fight, unless there are TWO people jumping you - then you may draw. I'd say 8-10 kids throwing rocks and you're cornered is cause to draw. Chances are as soon as you do so, they'll bolt. You could always give them a verbal warning, too.
