Defense is Death
What I mean by my last sentence is just exactly what I said. I said: 'Most people who are trained properly for violence prefer not to carry anything at all.' And, again, that is just exactly what I meant.
The professionals, including myself, who train for violence, mostly complain that guns and knives and all the other ancillary tools one may have on his person in a violent encounter are most likely just things that are going to get in the way while the incident is occurring and could hang us up.
I still prefer to carry a gun on my person, yes. But that is for personal reasons, not tactical reasons. I will survive the situation, gun or no gun, no matter what. I know this already, and so the gun for me is just a snap-on tool that might help me be more effective in violence.
I have been training for violence for about twenty years now. The professional trainers I work with are the best in the world and know how to get the job done the right way the first time around. We are all sane, socialized, law-abiding citizens, and we train and train earnestly for violence every week.
This is what keeps us out of trouble and out of violence. Because the more you know about violence, the less you need to worry about it.
If anyone is feeding this "kid" a bunch of BS -- it's you.
I carry a gun for no other reason than it is a simple kinetic energy dispenser that might make my job of killing someone that much easier should the need to kill someone arise. And that, in a nutshell, is the real reason I carry a gun: because I might have to kill somebody--and the gun is the quickest, most powerful way to get that job done. I will still be able to kill him with my bare hands, a bat or a knife, but the gun is going to save a whole lotta' labor for me, should I happen to have on handy.
Guns are made for killing and nothing else.
Violence is a messy, ugly, dirty business. All guns do is make it easier to get the messy, dirty, ugly job done.
Guns, and certainly all weapons in general, are simple labor saving devices.
What in the world do you mean by your last sentence? THAT'S gibberish if I ever heard it. NO ONE trains for violence, at least not law abiding citizens. We train to defend ourselves AGAINST violence! Excuse me! I am a woman and I certainly DO prefer to carry a gun to give me a fighting chance against a criminal who wants to rob me, rape me, or murder me, or all of the above! Even if you are trained in the martial arts, you cannot move faster than a bullet. Quit feeding this kid a bunch of BS!
Young man, train your brain and your gun together at the same time; you have to use the first in order to use the second one.
