By the time you think you need to cross the street, the predators have already ID’ed you and figured out counters to any effort at evasion. You are the gazelle and they are the hyenas.
If you have to cross, use that time wisely by drawing your weapon, taking it off safe, putting a round in the chamber, knowing you are now dealing in quarter to half-second intervals. You should be thinking in terms of target analysis, first salvo being one each to attackers, followed by second shot at misses and those not slowed down by the first round.
I spent 8 years in the infantry and I have spent the vast majority of my life immersed in firearms and the culture that surrounds them. I have studied multiple martial arts systems. Most recently I have been studying a groovy new technique for crushing a man’s trachea. I don’t go anywhere unarmed and I’m always in a combat mindset. When I cross the street, it’s to take up up a better defensive fighting position and to disrupt their attack plan.
