Actually, I think bringing out a gun in that situation would do 2 things:

- Make them more angry. Even though you took one or more of them out, you couldn't stop all of them.

- It would serve to escalate the situation. If one of them had a gun, which is likely, they wouldn't think twice about using it against you. Even if they didn't, your gun would eventually fall into their hands when things escalated, and it could be used against you.

I have no doubt that if that guy pulled a gun against these attackers, the knife cut on his face would have paled in comparison to the hole in the back of his head.
