I hate to state the obvious, Sky1, but if your friend had been carrying, he could have got them, just a matter of a second or two.

And without getting cut up.

I don't know if he could have avoided being cut, or if he could have actually got the attackers before they got to him...BUT...I see your point...he would have been a heck of a lot better off had he been aware of his surroundings AND armed with a handgun when the attack began.

Your point about getting to the attackers first is why its a good idea to carry a sheath knife that can be accessed VERY quickly and with a single hand. This is of course in addition to any firearms carried.

This is one of the reasons why I am currently taking Krav Maga classes. They teach you situational awareness, and how to handle yourself in CQ situations where you may not even be able to draw your weapon. Some people carry a backup gun; I carry a backup knife, and soon my bare hands will be my backup gun.
