I know it sounds odd, but I prefer going against three as opposed to going against two. If you do a lot of training against multiples, the chaos involving the higher number is to your advantage. I know, I know, it's all keyboard warrior talk, but that's what we've found over the years. I hate fighting two guys. It's sometimes fun in dojo but the fun seems to end there. Everything changes, of course, if you think you're dealing with one guy and one or two more surprise you. Then life really sucks.
As for weapons, I got mine, they better have theirs. Level of force scenarios and use of force legal guidelines tend to work in favor of the one. I like having law on my side. In any circumstance where there is potential trouble, liability always comes to the front of my mind. Life would be easier if it didn't, but it always does. (unless you're bushwhacked and have no time to think). If you sense multiples, that is no longer a factor, only survival is. May the good guys always win.
