Self Defense Training

Robert Farago posted this video to point out that car doors are not very good cover in a gun fight. What it made me wonder is why a guy who spends so much time training for life-and-death possibilities would allow himself to carry so much extra weight. We make jokes about fat white men, but there is some truth to it. Wouldn't someone seriously concerned about self-defense keep in better shape?

  1. Indeed they would. In fact, they would probably practise a real martial art as well (not "gun slinging").

    Nothing would be funnier than one of these bozos getting into a gunfight and having a heart attack from the shock.

  2. Come now. Is it that difficult to understand?

    Gunloonery isn't about self-defense, overthrowing the gubbermint or any of those excuses. Gunloonery is all about trying to obtain respect for a failed social/professional life.

    It's really that simple. Consider that when you join any of the armed services, you're going to spend probably 80-90% getting whipped into some minimum physical shape. 10-15% of your time will be devoted to grasping military discipline. Probably about 1% of your time will involve shooting anything.

  3. Car doors offer absolutely NO protection against gunfire (of any caliber)

    Real life is not like the movies.

    Nothing would be funnier than one of these bozos getting into a gunfight and having a heart attack from the shock.

    Ah, anti-gunners! Staying classy by hoping gun owners die.

  4. Az Red: Soooo...your point is the fact some cops are fat...that means you should be as well?

  5. My point is that fat(ter) cops are worse, considering it's their job to be fit for duty.

  6. I rarely agree with AztecRed, but I think fat cops are worse than fat gun owners in general.

    I think FWM once again has the bast sense of humor of the lot of us.
