Haha, agreed there but I am working on my "Kung-fu" so to speak. My brother in law teaches martial arts so he's shown me a few techniques with my machete and tomahawk. There are actually some surprisingly good how-to's on YouTube if you know what to look for.
Guns are well and good, but they are loud, lethal, and can malfunction. Backup options are never a bad thing to have, especially if you need to be quiet, or don't want to kill.
I guess try to think of the situations you might encounter, and plan accordingly, as with all preps. I can see myself needing to defend myself up close and personal, so I choose to carry a variety of melee defense options, because while I do have a few firearms at my disposal, Top Shot I am not. I can miss, and people can run fast when they want to. Anyone trying to close the gap on me will come face to face with blades and (soon) a baton.
