Practise ... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> give me a break, Its 4 am here and I havent slept a wink.

My point re situation is if they have had proper training to deal with the situation they may not have to shoot.
The gun is only a tool.
Im not explaining this well at this time in the morn.

I know of a black belt who had the c%*p belted out of him because of his attitude thinking he knew how to fight and was trained for it.
I also know another black belt, and you wouldnt even know that that she was a black belt, but she deals with situations with control.
They both know how to fight but with dealing with situations that arise, one fails.
The fighting skills are the tool as are the shooting skills.
I hope you can see what I mean.
