just don't try using guns to defend yourself... it is _such_ a bad idea.
if people want to use stuff to defend themselves, there are more practical
ideas (like sound grenades).

never try to defend yourself with something that requires line-of-sight.
in most situations, you're lucky if you have _awareness_ of an attack,
before it occurs, let alone time enough to "point, aim, shoot"

guns are offensive weapons.
