I saw this on AMW last night. I don't know if this is how it really happened but this is how they showed it:
Guy's walking through a parking lot, girl friend right next to his left arm. Three guys block the lane in front of him, two more come out from between cars on his right and demand cash. all are armed. Under the pretext of getting his wallet the victim draws a gun and manages to get himself into a Mexican stand off. Words ensue someone fires a shot and the gunfight begins. The victim using cover & concealment manages to hold off the 5 wounding one. The girlfriend is shot in the hand or arm. That's all the information they provided.
First off, the guy survived (until they killed him later to keep him from testifying) so you can't really fault what he did. But what would you do different,
I wouldn't have done the Mexican stand off I would have shot as soon as I drew if I drew at all.
The episode also changed my view on something else, I always assumed the badguys would see no profit in pressing the attack once you started to shoot back but, if it really happened that way, these guys did
