It takes one to beat one. Meaning to beat a gun guy it would be best to become one. Anyone wishing to deal with firearms should learn to use them and firing at a target beyond kicking range doesn't count.

The gun can be thought of as a knife and the rifle can be thought of as a spear or bo... that way you can look to some of the older arts and learn how to apply the techniques out there with some slight modifications.

I would agree as long as firearms are legal in your state and jurisdiction- Firearms training should be seamlessly integrated into your training. However, most students think that this means just going to the range and shooting a few rounds periodically. The truth is that the student should be just as comfortable with the firearm as they are with their empty-hands and this can only be accomplished through regular practice in various environments  and with the use of stress inoculation and force-on-force drills. Students must understand the realities of gun fights and train accordingly.

Stay safe!
