I think what he means is that some focus too tighly on the firearm as their weapon of choice and forgoe any hand-to-hand training, edged weapons training etc.

Then they truly feel defenseless since the one tool in their toolbox is "missing"

That old saying "if your only tool is a hammer then everything looks like a nail"

Just like United 93 ...being undergunned does not put you out of the fight

It just means your tactics (or luck) need to be better

There have been school shootings where the bad guy was tackled (and disarmed) by other, unarmed students

It is about not giving up...just because you don't have a bigger/better weapon

I always wondered about the Lubby's Cafeteria shooting...were there NO steak Knives in the building???

Talk is cheap, but I would rather get shot trying to stop the bad guy than cowering behind a table hoping he shoots someone else
