Why wouldn't I teach someone who is not reasonably competent in hand to hand fighting?
Because most street shooting deaths occur within 6ft

So there is a very good chance that you will have physical contact with an attacker.
If you don't know how to to deflect an attackers hand, and or evade and conceal,or disable that attacker, you are going to get in trouble sooner or later.
For those who disagree, They are also disagreeing with Col Applegate, and Jeff Cooper.
To let a person believe that just being able to shoot a firearm a few times is going to keep them from harms way is gross incompetence.
This will create a sense of confidence that will not stand the test in many cases.
It's also a fact that handguns fail, and that they have any real stopping power.
As far as aiming goes, I thought Applegate made it clear that you use point shooting in most fights.
Jeff Cooper added the idea of longer range marksmanship.
but Cooper's primary audience was the Military, not civilians
Unfortunately, many civilians are just conned into both the choice of weapons, and instructors, by gun store owners just out for a profit, having no real concern for the actual safety of the store patrons.
The training necessary to get a CCW in most areas is a joke.
Notice that most instructors don't even make their students prove that they can break down and clean their weapons, never mind learn the art of point shooting.
You want serious training?
Go to Gunsite, or join the Airborne, Ranger Corps, or the
USMC.
Notice the grip that Jack Ruby used when he assassinated Lee Harvey
Oswald. It's called the Chicago, or assasins grip.

That's what you use in close quarters, unless you are poorly trained
It's deadly, and just pointed, not aimed!
How can he miss?
and it's very difficult to tkae the handgun from the shooter.
Jack Ruby was a pro at assasinations. Lots of experience
And it's only a J Frame .38
Imagine that!
Be Safe out there!
