quote [ A teacher trained in weapons use has been suspended after accidentally firing his gun in a classroom in California, injuring three students.
Dennis Alexander was teaching a gun safety lesson for his administration of justice class at Seaside high school, near Monterey in northern California ] See? Arming teachers is a FANTABULOUS idea!
Wtf kind of class is "administration of justice" for high schoolers? I seem to remember a similar class being part of the curriculum for police academy recruits at a local city college.

A lot oversimplified, but yea. The point is guns a protection is most cases is a losing situation...walking on rocky ground does slightly increase your chance of being killed with a rock while caring a gun GREATLY increases you chance of being shot.
Having a gun for protection is a personal choice and depending what your degree of jeopardy is almost always a bad choice...pepper spry is MORE effective against against a street assault when the object is robbery and a not deadly at all.
Now if you are looking to kill it is had to beat a gun...defensively there are a lot less lethal options.
