Pax - you are fighting against a tendency of gun boards. Every question must have a 0,1 answer. It has to be absolutist and macho.
It's like the OC debate. Since there are some folks who can fight after being sprayed - NO ONE SHOULD CARRY OC AS IT MAKES THEM OVERCONFIDENT
Since some folks aren't stopped by a 22 LR or a 32 ACP NO ONE SHOULD CARRY A MOUSE GUN AS IT MAKES THEM OVERCONFIDENT
Thus a young woman or an old man for that case is better off not being able to disengage or stop a reasonable amount of attackers as some on the list think they are super physical specimens.
Nor do I think that most folks who take such courses think they are completely confident against all attackers. They have learned something.
It's funny - how many posts start with some guy, saying "I'm 6'6" and 250 and most folks don't mess with me". Are they a touch overconfident as compared to a little guy with a knife?
