This isn't anything personal against you, but when someone earns a couple belts in martial arts, they think they can fight the world.

I thought we were talking about unarmed opponents. Otherwise the gun makes even less sense. Are you really going to try and draw a gun against someone that's already pointing one at you or has a knife in your face? At that point the best thing to do is just give them what they want. Sadly to say, this includes your body if they're so inclined.
I don't think I can fight the world. If someone's armed then taking offensive action is probably going to leave you hurt or dead using either martial arts or another weapon. Then again, at least with martial arts you don't need to draw a weapon. As far as disarming goes, I'd much rather disarm a gun than a knife. Master used ketchup on the knives and 9 times out of ten I'd have fresh red on me going for the disarm. Not only good for seeing how well you did with the disarm, it's also good for getting it through your head that when going against an armed person you are going to get hurt so it isn't so much of a shock when you do.
