There is a huge difference between a knife at close range and a gun at close range.
A cut or stabb(depending how bad it is)won't necessarily stop you from fighting at beginning, a bullet going through you will.One shot and you won't be able to fight you'll be on ground bleeding.Also it takes half a second to pull trigger whether close up or far away,where as the blade has to be close enough to your body in order to go in.A knife can be deflected a gun can't.No human being is bullet proof.
I don't care what martial arts you do if I have a gun you're fucked.
If I can blow you away from a hundred feet do you not think it will be even easier for me to shoot you from only a few inches away? It is harder to stab someone though since you have to be close to your opponent and it can be deflected unless you are one of those unusual people who can throw a knife from a long distance and have it go through another person.
It's easy for schools to say we know knife and gun defense so are able to defend ourselves against any weapon but until you have actually been confronted by someone with a gun or knife your training means shit.Most people including instructors who teach these weapons defense,they themselves have never be confronted by an armed assailant so don't really know what works as far as these weapons training is concerned.
