Reply #9: People with handguns usually "only think from the wrist down" in crisis

[ehrnst]

As I was taught in self defense. I was told that often, if you don't have a gun you have a tactical advantage over someone holding a gun, because they are not as vigilant or alert - it can make them cocky and falsely assured.

Better to take a good self defense class than spend the money on some firearm that could be used to kill you.
