Years ago, I decided that while I had taught myself a bit about using nunchucks, I would actually go take some lessons.

The instructor, before giving me a lesson, asked why I wanted one.

I explained that I went to University in a not-so-nice part of Detroit, and wanted to better use them for protection.

His response? Why don't you get a gun? The charges are the same, and you'll live longer.

Ultimately, I took the lessons because I wanted to better my skills, and gave up on the "protection" defense (although I could). My motivation became learning, and learn I did.

So I concur -- bullets travel faster than electricity. Get the real issue and real priority straight, just like that instructor did for me.
