A gun-threat, on the other hand, is when an assailant uses a firearm in order to leverage you into giving in to their demands for either valuables, or your body (if they want to kidnap or rape you, or both).

It's this situation that Krav Maga will try to prepare you for... overwhelming and disarming a gun-man that's within range. It's better than a heel-hook.

No, trying to disarm somebody holding you at gun point is just a stupid thing to do, period.

If you can see the gun, and you haven't been shot, like you said chances are you can make it out. When it comes down to the choice between handing over your valuables or testing out your "gun-defense", something you've never trained to do in a real situation (how can you?), only an idiot fights back.

Now, not being a woman, I can't speak to rape. I guess I would say in general fight back, but if you're being held with a gun to your head, that's probably not the time.

I've trained most of my life in one martial art or another, and I've been robbed at gunpoint.
