If you already carry...

[Wataru Akiyama]

...why, then, should one learn the Martial Arts? First off, one should not have to hit others with one's fists should an arguement occur. Persons such as these should not be allowed 500 metres near a firearm to begin with. Secondly, one can get all one's exercise from the gym.

One has no need to bring themselves within punching\grappling range with a weapon. One can stop a potentially dangerous conflict if one so wishes to do so, despite the consequences, by drawing their arms, although this is not recommended and is a potentially foolish move if the other party is also armed in the same fashion.

One need not worry about having a gun torn from their grip as I personally believe that any good gunman will carry several guns on his person at all times along with the tools and ammunition for the aforesaid weapons.

Therefore I claim that knowing an MA and carrying a projectile weapon is redundant.

Feel free to rant and rave over my "stupidity" concerning this.

Edit for typo and grammatical error.

You can't carry everywhere

You might run out of bullets

You might be in a crowd.

You might be close together when the fight starts

You might be in one of the places where you can't carry

You might have to travel to a place where you can't carry

You might have to restrain someone without killing them

You're never going to get fucked with in the subburbs so stop starting threads

etc...

Perhaps there are some people that don't do martial arts for THE DEADLY STREETS (tm)

Is this fun for you? Really?

Woot! Sig Updated.

That's some Ashida Kim sounding **** there - even the use of the word "one" in place of "you" for the second person, and the complete and total seperation from reality. Been to Lake Alfred recently? If you keep filling your head with ****, you won't get killed, but you might get a wedgie, or a swirliy, or get sand kicked in your face on the beach, etc.

Copy of PM'd back and forth:

You can't carry everywhere

Valid but I feel this is a rare occurence unless someone would care to disprove me.

You might run out of bullets

In that case you probably shouldn't carry period but I could be wrong. The carrier could be a bad shot and waste his rounds.

You might be in a crowd.

Again, I may be wrong, but I think that aiming well would solve that problem.

You might be in one of the places where you can't carry
You might have to travel to a place where you can't carry

These are valid.

You might have to restrain someone without killing them

This may sound a little off colour but you could always aim for a nonlethal target on their person and immobilize your target but you have a point.

I think I will post this on the thread so that everyone can laugh at you.

Why would you PM this to me?

At any rate, a bullet can go right through someone,
You are VERY WRONG about where you can and can't carry - in many places you can't carry into ANY school, bar, or federal building. Not to mention many, many (enough that you can't just say "I won't go to them) public places are actually on private policy, with their own polices about guns. Colleges, in particular, tend to not allow students to carry.

You might also be doing an activity where you would damage your gun (surfing) or where you can't really wear one (basketball)

And aiming to 'wound' someone is a shitty, shitty idea. Go advance the idea on a forum dedicated to shooting and you WILL get an earful.

I guess now I know why he PMed me!
