I dont know if it was staged but Ill put it like this, here in El Paso things like that happen all the time. I have been chased down by groups of a-holes in trucks and cars. I have been assaulted in bars and on the street by multiple jerks, had maglites and knives swung at my head, and I have had alot of people break onto both my farm and my properties. (I personally have caught over eight people and sent them packing to jail, I have also drawn my gun on approaching groups of guys that I felt were to many for me to handle.)
I NEVER ever would pick a fight with someone random. You never know who your messing with. Anyone could carry a gun or be crazy. I carry a gun and a CHL and I definitely know how to defend myself just for this type of situation.
