Totally false. The vast majority of street attacks will happen very close to the victim. Very rarely will you be far enough away to safely use a gun on your attacker - after all, if you're too close he can take the gun from you. Give me a knife any day. Harder to take away from someone that's trained in using it, easier to carry, and more useful in the range that most attacks happen.
