    Plus, in the end, a firearm is more likely to be useful than physical self-defense

      Of what use is the gun if you can’t run 200 meters without collapsing and wheezing?

      Exercise, cardio, and personal self defense are still vital.

        Being in physical shape is important but one must be able to effectively combat the tools the enemy would use, and that is predominantly firearms

          I agree, but I would argue that overall fitness and survival skills are far more valuable then firearm experience. Guns by their very nature are very easy to pick up and begin to use. Even a very green user can become relatively proficient in less then a month.

          Overall fitness and survival skills take much much longer to develop and learn, and are much easier to practice as opposed to firearms.

              Of course, of course. I think it’s more of a question as to where to start and with what. However knowing both is a very good boon.
