I am a gun supporter but one of the biggest problems with the average civilian is the unwillingness to commit to deadly force. Most of your average viewers are not going to be dedicated to the training it takes to be accurate with the gun, or to train in techniques to quickly deploy the weapon, and then even if they do, most civilians are unwilling to commit to deadly force, which is what you need to be willing to do if you are going to draw a gun. I can't tell you how many times I've trained students where to hit how to hit and why, and still, they won't commit to the extremes of violence that is necessary against an assailant who has almost twice their body mass, and 20% more muscle mass, never mind having the mind set that it actually takes to shoot someone dead. Then, if she pulls the weapon but is unwilling to fire it, it will CERTAINLY be used against her when he takes it from her. I agree with COP.

I am a gun supporter, But I never tell people to get a gun for self defense and even at home, I strongly recommend a shotgun. A handgun is a precision instrument which takes on-going practice on a regular basis to maintain a minimum level of proficiency. Furthermore it can be taken away, which is why law enforcement has special holsters for their weapons... Follow the original article and utilize pepper sprays, eye gouching, groin kicks/pulls, slapping ears hard, hitting the throat..... All effective attack areas. If a person can't breath (throat strikes) they cant attack.. If a person cant see (eye popping/gouching) they cant get to you. Getting a Gun?!?

More often than not a woman is in more danger of having her weapon used against her. The rest of it sounds pretty good though. I always tell my students (kids for kidnapper defense and adults for attacker/mugger defenses) "If they cant see, they cant hurt you. If they cant breathe, they cant hurt you. If they cant walk... you guessed it, they cant hurt you."

Just hold them firmly in your hand with the key sticking out between your fingers. The point of the key can then strike the eyes, temples, or throat of the assailant.

A civilian Taser gives you one shot at one attacker and only disables for a few seconds, after which he's going to be geometrically angrier. A baton is of very limited use against a large, aggressive person, especially if he's on any of the most popular mind-altering chemicals. Here's another suggestion: Learn to use a handgun; buy a major-caliber handgun that you can handle and conceal; get a concealed carry permit; carry your gun everywhere that it's legal to do so. Nothing levels the playing field between an attacker and a would-be victim as much as a firearm. "But what if he takes it away?" some sheeple respond. Don't let him get close enough. Learn weapon retention techniques. Develop a non-victim mindset. Practice shooting. Take a variety of handgun courses: One of the most valuable things you'll learn is how to be aware of possible trouble and avoid it before it happen. Take some unarmed defense courses to give you other options to add to your firearms training. Learn when you can and must use your weapon and set your mind that you WILL NOT be a victim. After all, the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men (and good women) to do nothing. Mace spray is SOMETIMES effective.
