I support the right to own and carry (keep and bear) arms. Nevertheless, there are times when carrying is not prudent. Specifically, here are five reasons why it is not wise to carry to an incall session:Quote:

When you plan to get undressed, concealment is difficult. When the fight is on, you will not be able to get to a small gun in a pocket (or even an ankle holster). Pepper spray is much less likely to get caught up when you try to pull it out of a pocket.
In a physical scuffle, the attacker is likely to detect your weapon and fight to take it.
Vice cops are pricks. They will charge just about anyone they confront with loitering with intent to solicit. Any conversation with a decoy, and you're nailed. Then they will humiliate you with questions about job, family, and church. They will threaten to take you to jail, and to call your wife to pick up the car. Having a gun, even with a permit, can only make this bad situation worse.
If you pull a gun, and the cops can accuse you of in any way provoking the situation, you will be charged with use of a weapon during a fight. The owner of a gun store in my area is currently fighting this charge, along with reckless driving. Some residents confronted him about his speed through their neighborhood. During the argument, they blocked him from leaving, and one picked up a rock and threatened to smash his taillights. He drew down, they turned very polite, and the cops arrived and took him to jail. The belligerents faced no charges, and the media portrayed them as poor victims.
If you have a full carry permit, the right to carry a piece, the time that it SHOULD be carried is when you feel that your safety and security may be at the greatest risk. When there's the greatest chance that your venturing into surroundings that might compromise your control over possible potentially hazardous situations.Quote:

If you get yourself into situation where you have to actually defend yourself with the piece, you'd better know how to use it. And by use it, I don't mean simply being able to hit stationary and moving targets. Defense, using a firearm, is not target practice. In a life and death situation (anytime one or more people produce a firearm it's a matter of life and death) in close quarters (where most take place), all the hours spent at the range trying to group wad-cutters into the vital areas of paper target placed from 10 feet to 25 yards away won't help you produce and maintain the total control over the firearm from any position necessary to stand a better chance than your adversary, whether he has a piece, a blade, a bat, etc.
A firearm is an extension of the arm. It's what's attached to that arm on the opposite end that determines how effective he will be, based on athleticism, reflexes, and plain old know-how.
Believe it or not, there are systems of combative disciplines that encompass firearm use. Here's a very good one:

Thats from the movie Equilibrium....fascinating concept but I can imagine its problematic to develop a system and then teach it....maybe with paintball pistols...
Equilibrium is only 3 to 4 years old. About 12 years ago I bought a stack of 60s and 70s martial arts magazines. In one of the titles, there was an ongoing series entitled "Gun-Kata". This was a seriously codified and well thought out training program was an overview, an introduction, for anyone who wished to further study this discipline with the author of the article. From what I saw of the diagrams and read of the methodology, it was very well thought out and reminiscient of ninja/samurai weapons kata, only executed with different types of firearms instead of the usual martial arts weaponry.Quote:
