Interesting I suppose, but I would like to challenge the validity of their argument.

They were basically saying that it is pointless for an individual to have a gun for protection as they probably wouldn't get a chance to fire it in a stress situation. On top of that, there is only a 25% chance of the shot hitting the target if they do get to fire. So they are basically saying that by having a gun you have a 12.5% chance of it doing any good.

Well, what is the chance of hitting anything if you don't have a gun at all?

Now that 12.5% looks quite attractive, essentially an infinite % better chance.

I don't mind them presenting their opinion and letting everyone decide for themselves whether they want to carry or not. What I do not want is someone else making the decision for me.

An interesting point though in that video. The first move, assuming you can't get out of the way? Taking cover buys you precious time to form the appropriate response, it may only be a fraction of a second, but it's a fraction of a second more. At the end of the day there's never going to be a 100% fix, it's about increasing your chances.
