To be more specific, outgunned or not, I will never put myself in the position for a bunch of hoodlums to decide my fate, if I'm well armed or well trained. I have a 4 year old daughter with special needs, and it wont hurt my feelings a bit to spend the remainder of my life in jail if it means her and her mother are able to retreat.
I live in Ohio, and as such, I'm not required to retreat if there is a reasonable threat against my life. Lets not forget that there were four assailants with at least 2 guns and 2 knives. I have around 80 acres, adjoined by several larger land holders. In my situation, if they had the jump on me, Im probably not going to escape with my life. Sure, if I had a dozen neighbors, I might have a reasonable chance at a semi nonviolent confrontation, but I don't. My closest neighbor is over a mile away.
So, with that said, if if forced to do so, I will defend myself and my family at the expense of a gang member(s) life. There are some places left in this country where you don't go pointing deadly weapons unless you intend on using them, and my homestead and acreage is one of them.
I respect all laws, but I assure you that my life and the lives of my family members are worth far more to me than that of some chump that thinks he's tough because he has 3 other armed guys backing him up. With that said, if you want to rant about correctness, save it for a private conversation or another thread. I know my rights, and Im not going to lose a bit of sleep if I ever have to use them.
