    Personally I feel a person should learn to fight first before handling a gun. You would be surprised at how much of fighting is being able to take a hit, or deal with being taken down and grappled with.

    I have been training for years in boxing and judo/bjj, you would be surprised how many guys decked out in Tapout break their hands throwing a punch, or after shadow boxing and staring at a mirror get knocked down by one punch from someone half their size. With BJJ it's just ridiculous. Once the adrenaline kicks in most can't go through a 6 minutes round.

    Learning to fight and having a sense of self discipline and self power will help control emotions that could lead to a horrible situation when you have a gun in your hand.

    Recently I was certified and licensed to use a handgun. Not that i would ever keep one in my home. I just wanted to have the experience. To be frank the trigger is a lot easier to pull then you think...the odds of hurting the wrong person is just too high. But if I accidentally punch a loved one, they'll get over it in a day or two...hopefully :)

    The taser is definitely a good idea, just dont taser me bro!
