If you want an advantage then, like I said before, learn to fight. Spend less time on the range and more time in the gym/dojo learning to defend yourself with the one set of weapons you always have on you and can not be easily taken away from you. Given a close range match between your holstered gun and my minimal martial arts training, I'll take my martial arts training.

What about those of us who have been crippled up in a head on collision?
What about the sick and the Elderly?
I'm pretty sure that a young mother (With a still forming child in her womb) would have a hard time fighting someone much bigger and much stronger than her.
I hate to burst a few folks bubbles but the new lady in my life told me she wouldn't mind learning how to shoot.
