An old question I posted on a forum and want new answers?

even when you buy a gun if you can't shoot right it only puts you in more danger. Yes, you might get lucky and hit your target, but your Arrogance cause you to make mistakes. And someone who didn't want to hurt you might feel like they have to kill to live. Martial Arts and guns will both work but the better your are at using both in a real situation (not just the shooting range or the sparring matt) the better the odds that you will live another day.
