raimius, It might be difficult to do so if your attacker IS armed with a firearm. Of course if you are Chuck Norris, but wait! I saw a NRA commercial he did and he said he would rather use a gun than a spinning round house kick.

I'm not advocating hand-to-hand over firearms, that's for sure! The problem is basing arguments on premises which have holes is a good way to get beaten by those who can spot the hole.
Perhaps we should say something like "effective defense," since not many people can easily win over an armed attacker without some sort of weapon.
I'm an advocate of carry rights. (Currently, I limit my advocacy to "unsecured" locations.)
