[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3614716, member: 48072"] I think the point is that if you're going for your what you have tucked away, the other guy probably will too. Waiting for somebody (who you are in an altercation with) to grab something out if their pocket or waistline is kind of an idiot move...don't you think? Doesn't matter if it is a knife, a monkey fist, blackjack, gun, or whatever...you let someone inside of spitting distance have the freedom to pull their concealed weapon in front of you uncontested and you just lost the ability to respond without getting stuck or struck first. Guns aren't talismans that ward off evil just because you wore one that day. But in the hands of a trained individual they are vastly superior to a moronic home-made weapon. I'll let the other guy bring a padlock to a gunfight. What you are referring to is the old "21 foot rule", and it can apply. There are also multiple ways to work around it like responding when someone who has accosted you is now moving towards you with their hands concealed, creating your own distance etc... We can "what if" 100 different scenarios for days here. Bottom line *for me* is the moment your hands start moving for something, so are mine. I'm not famous, so I know you aren't going to pull a pen out and ask for my autograph. [/QUOTE]
