It takes no training to present a gun, and, stistically, that is all you have to do to defend yourself in 95% of armed assaults.
And this in no way should be taken as me stating that you should carry with no training, quite the opposite, just making the point to counter the 'knife is easier to use untrained argument'. I don't think that you should carry any weapon unless you've been properly trained and have taken sufficient time to practice.
