When attacked by that many people, armed or not, the threat of death or serious injury is virtually certain. Once on the ground from a sucker punch, the head stomping starts.
There is only one remotely "workable" response: draw and start shooting until the threat is over.
If you wait for the sucker punch to draw your gun, you're already unconscious.
If you draw before the sucker punch, you get prosecuted for murder.
I researched this somewhat, and being outnumbered by a hostile mob is a "justified lethal force" situation, but DAs don't see it that way, and it'll take a jury trial to get acquitted.
Let the DAs do it that way. The scum are paid $45k a year and their payday is becoming elected judges thus they'll go wherever the wind blows hardest
If you're carrying, I'm surprised that you haven't been inundated with legal defense plans for gun owners. Those actually do tend to their job and would meet the scenario you described.

The end.
Change my mind.
It's a no win situation.
If you wait for the sucker punch to draw your gun, you're already unconscious.
If you draw before the sucker punch, you get prosecuted for murder.

The DAs do see it that way.. They were paid to be DAs pretending NOT to see it that way.
Rather tried by 12 than carried by 6. I've made my peace, hope everyone can make theirs.
Most DAs belong in prison.

Killing your enemy is always a win, even if you go to jail for it.
