Relax pj, you're clean on this one.
On the other hand:
So with a two year old kid strapped into the backseat the wife, from the passengers seat "shoots through the back window"? Brilliant! Shame about the kids permanent hearing loss though.

In 1980 I was running a small mining operation in New Mexico. On a Friday afternoon I was returning from the bank in town to the mine with the cash payroll for my employees. On a rural mountainous road I was suddenly overtaken and surrounded by what to me seemed like 30 motorcycles with visibly armed, Bandido color wearing riders. (it turned out to be 11). They aggressively motioned for me to pull over. I held up my pistol without aiming it at them and they all slowed and fell back.
A few moments later they all roared back up around me, several had pistols drawn. I fired one shot aiming off sight at the bike next to me's gas tank. I hit somewhere on the front of the bike. Again they all fell back. I was driving as fast as I could while ducking below the level of the seat. If they fired back they did not hit my vehicle. As I approached the limits of a small town they turned off the road and ceased following.
This was not a movie script or fantasy. Its real life and happens all the time. Also to note, these were not "young punks" on little bikes harassing drivers. they were Bandido gang members with a very violent history and reputation.
As a side note, I abandoned that truck in Santa Clara New Mexico and never went near it again. It was still there, in a vacant lot next to a roadside restaurant 6 months later when we closed the mine
You saved the payroll from bandidos? You really are a cowboy! Did you get the medicine back in time to save the charming schoolmarm? Interesting story though. It's amazing how closely it matches the events being discussed here.
I'm just a broken record on this, it's a bad idea for one person with a gun to shoot at 25 people with guns. It works in movies and tall tales, but unless you're a real life Rambo, it will probably end poorly. Counting on 25 guys running vs 24 guys running and one guy shooting back. If you can figure out VP odds, this should be easy.
