Your opinions please...
This post is totally unrelated to my previous post so I figured I'd start a new post:
I was thinking that if I was confronted by a person holding a gun at me, what would be the most effective way to defend myself. I know that most people would say just give up whatever the bad guy is asking for. The problem is that many people have been shot after giving up without resistance. For arguements sake, lets assume that the there is an opportunity to resist and that the bad guy has given indications that he will probably shoot you no matter what.
Assuming that the bad guy was within striking distance, (has the gun pointed at you with his arm extended), what do you feel would be the most effective disarming technique. My concern with gun grabs is you are dealing with an unknown attacker. His reaction time may be very fast and he may be very strong. Gun grabs require fine motor movements and a missed gun grab will probably be deadly.
I was thinking the best thing to do is feign compliance first. You have to make sure you don't project your intentions by staring at what or when you are going to attack. I would go for a simple sweep if the gun and a good hard groin kick. You have to follow this up immediately with additional strikes and get a hold of the weapon. Do you guys think this would work (as a last ditch effort)?
