"To those that think that this coming from some gun happy "cowboy", you are wrong. I do not own a gun, but would be willing to go to any training program that would make me competent to safely use a tool of self defense. As it stands today, all the bad guys have guns and know that we do not. Still feel safe?"
So, why have you not taken the training? As a non-pilot you stand a much higher chance of meeting an armed BG (bad guy) in your everyday life - and yet you have not taken the opportunity to protect yourself. And were you to take proper training, you would have a much better idea of the limitations of a firearm in resolving aggressive confrontations.
