Very interesting post!
I've come into it late, but it's never too late, is it?
My wife and I have custody of our 1st and only Grandson (for now). And he also wants to take the "course" in a local Tai Kwon Do academy. (I)we think it's a good idea. A mention was made of the school shootings, and in Ottumwa, IA, (our home now), a couple years ago there was a shooting, that left the one intended dead. I don't believe any amount of training would have spared the young man killed. He was the intended victim by the attacker.
As for others' preparing themselves for self defense, I'm all for it. It's a known, that the police (Sorry LEO's) are a reactionary force. It's an obvious impossibility for them to be everywhere, all the time. The Soviets did exactly that, and they still had crime of all flavors. As do the Chinese. Simply placing heavily armed police (really military) at every corner doesn't guarantee you anything resembling protection.
Best REgards,
Don
