They saw the gun.
They didn’t stop.
And, again, the idea of a “warning shot” is not only stupid, it’s improper use of a firearm. You would never take a firearms course in which “warning shots” are taught as a legitimate and proper use of a weapon…

How would I know? I'm not you.

Exactly. I’m someone properly trained in the use of a firearm. I’ve shot tens of thousand of rounds over the span of over 30 years.
You’ve used a pistol once…

I can only speculate on what I would have done in that same situation, that is, I'd have started swinging when they got within knife range.

Four on one?
That’s not brave, that’s stupid…

Oh, please, what were they? Brain-eating zombies? A warning shot would definitely stop ME.

Do you spend a lot of time beating and robbing people?
I have no doubt that it would stop
you…

Probably. Wouldn't miss a leg, though.

Yeah, you probably would…

Well, I can defend myself fine without a firearm, as unlike you I've never had to face brain-eating zombies.

You’re going to fight off four armed assailants, and do it without a weapon?
Right…

Additionally, I don't get the shakes.

You have absolutely no clue how your body would react in such a situation. If I were a bettin’ man, though, I’d put a
lot of money on your acquiring a nifty case of the shakes…

That is, I do get them, but only when I'm not actually in danger, such as when I have to prepare for a difficult interview.
|
Again, you have no idea how your body would react if you were in the same situation I found myself in. You have no idea how badly you’d shake, or how much you’d sweat…

What do you suggest I do? Go get mugged? I don't have a gun...

That’s entirely up to you.
I’ve never been mugged. I’ve been
almost mugged once…
