This video is another example of propaganda masked as unbiased reporting. In fact, it only reinforces what firearms experts have been saying for decades: if you’re going to carry, make sure you train.

this is why i also carry knives as well as a handgun, the knives are just in case the bad guys can grab me before i can draw my gun, knives are great for close range self defense.
There was some discussion on the PROGUN Facebook page as to whether or not this was an anti-gun report. Some felt that the video was simply advocating firearms training for all concealed carry license holders. I don’t think this is the case. As one commenter pointed out, ABC news and mainstream media in general has a reputation the American firearms community as having a clear anti-gun bias. The clip itself was part of a 20/20 report that aired in April 2009 titled ‘If I Only Had a Gun’. A look at the report’s page on the ABC news site shows that it is a completely one-sided view. Furthermore, a quick web search reveals that many pro-firearms advocates in the US felt the same way.
