Ok, he was talking about swords and armor, but it applies to the modern world as well.Don't forget armor. That gives you a significant edge, if you're wearing it.
Ask yourself this, if you intend to get into a gun fight, would you wear body armor?
Well, I bet 99% of all people who own firearms for protection don't own body armor, or don't keep it handy. Why not? Too expensive? Too much trouble to put on quickly? Both are not true.
I have a set at home and a set in my car. My son has a set, thanks to the Iraqi Army and Point Blank. I feel that having body armor is a no brainer if you think you will have to get into a gun fight. Bad guys have guns too.
