Self-Defense: Superior to fighting?

I suppose I need to utilize my membership at On Target more huh Tallgeese? Weapons are so unforgiving that they scare me a bit.

I agree. I would not suggest anyone use a weapon (more specifically a knife or gun) unless they are very highly trained with them. Anything you have, can be used against you. Moreover, it's been proven time and time again that an assailant can take 30 full speed steps in the time it takes for a police officer to draw, acquire, and fire at a target. And the police are trained for it and using an unconcealed holster they find fits their style best. Now imagine you have to reach into your coat to get a concealed weapon; or need to pull a knife off your pocket and open it. I am willing to wager that most people are not skilled enough to use either weapon efficiently from its holstered position. Therefore, it may be more of a hindrance than you might think.

Yeah thats what I mean. I feel as if I have it on me and am choosing not to use it then it is still a focus and a distraction. I want to focus 100% on the person or persons I'm dealing with. Just me though.
