How often do you practice/train for a defensive situation?
Hmm. I practice once a week, about a hundred to a hundred and fifty rounds, with some pretty basic scenarios and drills – basic, mostly, because the range where I shoot doesn't allow some of the more interesting things, for which I have to rely on dry-fire practice. I work a few specific drills during each range visit, mixing them up so I don't end up doing the same thing every time and getting bored. One thing I always practice, though: draw from concealment and fire pairs as quickly as possible at three yards, again at five and seven (not always in that order). This is almost always my cold start drill. If not that, it'll be failure-to-stop drills at the same distances, which I also practice during each range visit.
How ready are you to defend yourself against an attack?
Beats me, and I'm not eager to find out. In past circumstances, I was ready enough that I didn't think at all about what to do, or why. I just did it. Preparation and training seems to have helped. End result, I know what I can do, how quickly I can do it, and at what distances. I suppose this means that I have at least a modicum of a somewhat realistic notion of my skill level, and under what circumstances I can bring those skills to bear, but I also believe that those skills are simply rudimentary.
If you got jumped today,by say three gangbangers and had no choice but to shoot it out;whould you be both physically and mentally prepared?
If it were necessary to fight or die, I'd fight with a clear understanding that one of the consequences of using deadly force is that someone may die, including me. I'd work hard to make sure it wasn't me.
How ready are you to pull your weapon and defend your life?
Hesitate and thou art lost. Mindset has been constantly beaten into me in other areas, and defensive shooting has been no different. If the need for action arises, act swiftly and decisively.
