You drop to the ground. Your denim jeans save your knees, but your forearms and elbows aren't so fortunate. Your head throbs from the blow it just took to the back. "Occipital crest," you strangely remember from an anatomy class long ago.
Your solo walk has just been interrupted.
0. [[Get up]]You can't. You lay there writhing in pain on the sidewalk. Your head continues to throb. It feels warm.
0. [[Roll over on your back]]As you roll over, you catch a blurry vision of someone standing over you. You think you hear laughing but can't hear much over the new loud tone in your head.
He's saying something. To someone else. There's more than one.
0. [[Roll away]]You aren't going anywhere. He puts his foot on your stomach and presses down. Firm. You notice he's holding a cell phone now, recording the attack. So are his buddies.
0. [[Reach for your gun]]
0. [[Beg for mercy]]Home

(click:"Home")[(goto-url: "http://iftactical.com/")]You manage to roll just enough to slip your hand behind your back and pull out your handgun. The look on your attacker's face instantly changes.
As quickly as you can, you:
0. [[Aim and squeeze]]You were never interested in guns because you thought they were violent and didn't want to bring violence into your home. What does a peaceful law-abiding person (like you) need with guns?
You beg to be left alone as they continue to record. They will, but not until they collect more footage to post online. And finally, knock you out. Cold.Two shots to the chest and the criminal collapses backwards in a pool of his own blood. You look to see the others running away as quickly as they can go.
Congratulations. Your effective self defense means you get to live. Now call 911 and your lawyer.
