I've worked at a bar. I carry a gun. I have some martial arts training. I'm kind of a big guy (6'4"). I'm young (24) and fit.
I would have hit the two aggressors as hard as I could (throat, other pressure points, knees) as soon as the victim hit the ground. Is it legally justifiable? Maybe. Do I care? No.
I don't have a wife, don't have any kids, and I'd like to think that I could articulately explain my actions to a jury. If it came to that.
I have zero tolerance for people who hit/kick others while they're on the ground or unable to defend themselves. Call it an outdated sense of justice. Whatever.
I also have never been a fan of using "soft hands". Based on my experience, that just gets you hurt.
If they're too caught in the moment or barbaric to leave it alone after they've floored their opponent, well, don't come crying to me when I jump in with all the physical destruction I can muster.
Would I pull a gun? Absolutely not. If stashing it in a vehicle is an option, I'll take it. If not, well, hope they can't figure out how to take off the safety before I hit them hard enough to cause some disorientation.
At the risk of insulting the female members/mods, I have no apprehension to hitting a girl who's acting like an animal.
