Safety is one of the most considered aspects of day to day living. It is always better to be safe than sorry. In ensuring that you are safe, it is recommended that you should learn how to use any kind of an item for the purpose of self defense. There has been a notion that you need to learn martial arts in order to enhance your self-defense techniques. |

| Hey Doc's, how many of your patients die each year due to errors, neglect etc. Quite a few. So can it on guns. |

Again the meme that a gun in the house is more of a danger than a help. Yet between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people use guns to defend themselves each year.
Years ago a study "proved" a gun in the home was 43 times more likely to kill or injure a home owner or family member than be used on a intruder. The methodology used to obtain this was dishonest in the extreme and required the inclusion of gang houses, drug runners homes, meth labs, suicides, and other avoidable criminal activities.
That lie is still circulating, like a bad penny.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
