I think you might be missing the point, Justme. Surely you agree that some training is better than none.

If your point is simply that it's not always the best idea to try to beat a gun pointed at you, I tend to agree.

It depends on the situation. If the guy just killed everyone else in the room, I'm going to try to kill him or get away, no matter what he's holding. An attempted abduction for a woman, I'd suggest the same.

No one here is saying you always go for the gun. Mas will be the first guy to tell you (in fact, I believe he was) that a throw down wallet can be a lifesaver in the event of an attempted mugging.
