Without training, your chances of success are lower. Significantly lower.<br /><br />But Hell's Bells, when push comes to shove, plenty of people have managed to figure it out when crunch time arrived. <br /><br />In the majority of the "Armed Citizen" cases I've read over the past, what, 20 years?, the armed citizen had little or no training in self defence, yet was successful.<br /><br />Just as "having a gun" doesn't automatically equal "being prepared", "not having training" doesn't equal "helpless", either.<br /><br />Nor does "having a gun", "having the right mindset", and "having good training" automatically equal "being prepared". Sometimes, you're just screwed by circumstances outside your preparation or capability.Rick R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-10311872836124281262009-10-05T10:38:34.823-04:002009-10-05T10:38:34.823-04:00Breda, I wasn't talking to you - I was talking...Breda, I wasn't talking to you - I was talking to your commenters.

Hell, the stats on defensive gun use illustrate the fact that simply being able to PRODUCE a gun is likely to deter the attack!<br /><br />Not that I advocate assuming that one will be able to use a gun effectively without training and mindset, but it is possible to figure out the basics at contact range. That's been demonstrated by hundreds (or thousands) of armed, but otherwise unprepared, people succeeding.<br /><br />So, to recap:<br /><br />Gun + training + mindset > Gun + mindset > Gun + training > No gun.<br /><br />Besides, don't the actual FBI-compiled statistics work out to, "The harder and more effectively the rape victim fights, the less likely she is to be hurt"?Rick R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-76997692989756874272009-10-03T23:07:43.592-04:002009-10-03T23:07:43.592-04:00Yes, thank you, everyone.
