Your best weapon would be elite-learned improvision. In any unfortunate case that your firearm fails to work properly, your enemy has an advantage if they have been taking martial arts and you haven't.

Common sense.

And if you don't carry firearms because you're afraid of being attacked why do you carry them?

I don't understand this argument. The criminal has the upper hand most of the time. Here is a scene...

Scenario: Your walking with your family to buy ice cream. It's you and your wife and little daughter. You have a gun strapped to your waist. A thug suddenly appears and puts a gun to your face. He wants your money.

Ok, how are you going to pull out your gun? Are you going to risk your families life by trying to be a hero? By the time you try to pull out your gun the crook will see this and god forbid something worse will happen. Also, that gun your carrying is now in the possession of the crook.

I hate to play victim but it's better to give the money then to risk your life and your family's future. I'll gladly give the thug my $100 before I try to be a hero.

Btw, having a gun on you would be great if someone started to open fire on a bus or train. Then you might be able to properly defend yourself. But if you have a gun pointed to your face I just can't see how your going to do anything to defend yourself. For the most part the thug has the upper hand.

You bring up a good point...

If you're an idiot, don't carry a gun. Please, think of your family. :disgust:

You've got to be kidding me.
 
Faith in God, and an awareness of my surroundings.

Really, it all comes down to my faith in God.
 
firearms are not the only methods of self-defense, you know. i can fight pretty well, but i'd rather use my brains. i'm not anti-firearms tho. 🙂
 
Where the fvck do you live where you would feel the need to carry a gun around with you everywhere you go? I think I would move.
