Agreed, and once on the ground, the mob is going to do Riverdance on your back and head. I know it sounds odd, but I suggest to others that they practice dry firing while prone on their back, or a semi-fetal position. Once the initial engagement is over, Hotel Alpha as fast as you can, cause retribution is coming from the mob.
This is only if they cannot avoid the assault in the first place.
To some maybe, but haven't Ayub and other real life gunfighters been advocating this for years?
FR Squantos has mentioned it more than once, as well as sacricing an old windbreaker or jacket to practice shooting from the pocket in close quarters with a sudden threat.
Gun or not, in such situations it nearly always ends up on the ground. And with multiple assailants, it's Reginald Denny or worse all over again.
