Read Top Training Articles Comprehensive Self-Defense: Armed and Unarmed Skills By: Rob Pincus A comprehensive approach to self-defense includes both armed and unarmed skill development. While it is important to understand how these areas complement each other and can be integrated, this article will discuss the two areas separately as a starting point. Though it is reasonable that you may choose not to go armed and focus only on unarmed defensive skills, if you are going to the trouble of arming yourself and learning the related skill sets, you should certainly invest some time in the techniques you might need when you don't have your preferred defensive tool, can't access it...

The "study" was notably prepared for the anti-gun group National Gun Victims Action Council. The thrust of the Post article is a not-so-veiled attempt to convince readers that carry permit holders are unprepared for most self-defense encounters. However, the "study" doesn't actually show this at all. The "study" didn't limit the participants to concealed carry permit holders. Therefore, the conclusions in the study can't be applied to people who have actually made the decision to carry a gun for self-defense. Perhaps the most interesting finding, given the "study's" consistent recommendation of extensive training for carry permit holders, is that there was no statistical evidence that training improved participants' accuracy during the simulated encounters, largely due to the fact that the scenarios were so badly designed. But even without any evidence, the authors of the "study" press on, which is not uncommon among anti-gun fanatics trying to advance their cause. Self-defense simulations are not needed to determine if lawfully armed citizens can defend themselves from criminal attacks. Armed citizens defend themselves and others on a daily basis. Just a few examples from this month show that armed citizens are able to consistently make the correct split-second decisions in real-life encounters with violent attack.
