There is relatively no gang activity here in redneck area, usa where I live. We are all just good 'ol boys, with guns, who hunt, fish, ect. Most have done outdoor activities all their lives and grew up around guns of some sort.
The only problems around here are drunken bar brawls on saturday night.
I know if I were ever faced with that situation, and assaulted by one, and surrounded by many, who would also attack, I have no doubt as to the life threatening part of the situation, and would defend my life as hard as I could, ANY way I could.....
