Why do you guys *always* assume that you're faster? You're not. Why is it automatically you winning when we are close enough for you to join the dance? Again, have you ever actually *seen* what a trained person can do with a firearm in self defense, or are you just imagining things again?

I'm 42 and I still train. 2) Do you really think that I'll walk into a door and yell "I'm going to kick Adam Churvis' ass" from 20 ft out? 3) In close quarters situation, an unarmed combatant will win, because he will have speed and surprise. 4) I'm not stupid enough to attack an armed assailant outside of point blank range. If I can reach your head, or get inside of your shooting hand before you unholster, you don't have time to react, nor can you get a shot off. It's called assessing the situation. A gun works when you have distance on your side, your not going to draw when someone already has one hand crushing your larynx and one hand bending your shooting wrist the wrong way -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

Pal, I'm a 46 year-old fat guy, and back in the day (many moons ago) I trained in either Tae Kwon Do or American Karate almost every day, so I know what "martial arts" can and can't do, and I can drop your ass attempting to do *anything* with me starting from a holstered pistol coming through a door with you anywhere in that classroom. If we see each other, you lose. Period. Can you please point to one instance of your scenario *ever* happening to someone who wasn't just a complete incompetent with a firearm? Crouch your tiger and hide your dragon all you want, your ass still goes down.
