The problem Archer is that these things are beyond the capability of many people and are over done in the media, therefore some people believe them to be impossible. Mall Ninjas do abound, but they are not nearly as common on gun boards as they used to be (because they get called out). However the existence of mall ninjas and bad movies does not preclude any ordinary person from being trained in MMA or combatives and being perfectly capable of disarming an armed man. In fact such things are common enough that I would say that CHLs need to train for and think through a response to a physical attack.
It is quite possible for many people to have an unarmed response that would be dynamic enough that the attacker would be caught off guard. While quite risky and not the ideal solution it would be better than a lot of the alternatives, such as relying on your attackers mercy.
