WVSig, thanks... actually, I do train regularly in unarmed self-defense. I admit I have only minimal training in chemical sprays, cuffs, and flex-cuffs... but I practice quite a lot with both firearms (range, plus IDPA) and open-hands (aikido, jujutsu). I also hit the gym several times a week.

But while I highly recommend such practices, I would not wish to see a government mandate.

Regards,

M

PS Situational awareness and social skills are other things that can't be mandated, but that really should be developed, while we are at it...
