I'm sorry, but no.
Perhaps if I have to cock it still, but not if it is ready to shoot.

Are you telling me you walk around with your finger on your cocked SIG226 at all times? I'm sorry, but no you don't.
The argument is that in every situation a gun will win over someone trained in martial arts. I agree with you that in many, even in most situations that is the case. But not in every situation. You're grabbed by surprise from behind with surprising force by a very strong foe. You're going to pull your gun, cock it, aim it, and fire before he knifes you or chokes you out? I don't like your chances. And, if your attacker sees a gun while subduing you, it's possible that you have now just elevated the situation to a life or death struggle. Again, this assumes you are in the real world, and not walking around with your gun drawn, loaded, cocked and ready to fire at the turn of every corner.
