I don't think that the value of running through "what if" scenarios can be over estimated. In fact I would posit that regularly running through these scenarios is a form of "training" and I believe, that if actually faced with the unthinkable, you would revert to your "training" including range work and tactical "imaginings".

Gang members shoot at members of rival gangs frequently.
One issue police have now is that it is the "homies" who have more experience under fire than the cops.
Also, most gang members know a fellow gang member who's been shot. Most of the don't die. And many are not afraid of being shot.
I would argue to the contrary. I can't tell you how many big bad, gang bangers I've seen cry like babies with as little as a .25 in the thigh.

To the fellow whose wife thinks he's crazy, I feel for you brother. Mine will pick out a good (relative to the environment) table and save me the best FOF position at the table. We never discussed it, she just does it. I am blessed, and married way out of my league.

Added in Edit: As I thought about this, another factor occurred to me. As others have pointed out good SA is critical. But in the Waffle House scenario in particular, good SA would place you in a situation that as they came in (remember guns are already out) cause a traffic jam at the door. Nail the first one through and keep stacking 'em up until you run out of bad guys or bullets. When ever I am out somewhere, no one comes in without the once over.
