I think asking someone to disarm someone, and then not teaching them about the weapon is pretty dangerous. They dont even really need to shoot a gun but at least understand how a revolver and pistol operate, what to do if it jams would be the very basics - probably some stuff that could be taught in a class or two but would be really useful. |
Ok, those very basics (rack, tap, bang) which can be covered in just a few minutes is good, but I am not about to bring anything even remotely similar to a loaded gun into my Do Jang to have my students practice on it. Likewise, I won't require them to be expert marksmen.
