Disarming an Attacker

From The Truth About Guns.



It looks so easy in the sunlit park with a toy gun, but I wonder how it works in real life. Don't the pro-gun folks often talk about how quickly they can shoot. We've even seen a guy who can reload the gun in the time it takes for this guy to "disarm" his opponent.

The other problem I have with these things is why do we not hear of them once in a while on the gun blogs. I read ten or twenty gun blogs fairly regularly and I can only remember once when Caleb handled a would-be mugger with his cup of coffee.

If these violent incidents were as frequent as we're led to believe and if there were as many DGUs as they say, even the kind which require nothing more than brandishing the gun to scare away the bad guy, we would hear about them on the blogs.

But we don't. I think I know why. What do you think?

  1. It's a systema move; it also works against knife wielders.

  2. If the attacker is that close with a gun, then they are not using a gun’s best attribute.

  4. That’s borderline funny Jade. But no, you have to be close for what you are thinking of.

  5. I actually thought that was pretty funny.

  6. It’s like Michael Scott on The Office. If you use “that’s what she said” every opportunity you get, one out of ten times you actually get a hit and make people laugh. Bravo Jade.

    When some big burly man has you cornered in alley, I can see that being your biggest concern.
