Not every one on the sift has dealt with a life and death situation.

So they may not know the need for a weapon, first aid kit, pressure bandages, or things of that nature.

Personal experience:
When you come home to find door damaged with what looks to be a screw driver and the chain on the door busted, you may want something more substantial than a cell phone. (When the chain is busted, that means some one broke in while your loved ones where there.) For some of us, the world has shown its darker side.

"In a situation you will not rise to the occasion but rather you will default to your level of training" - Robert Boatman - So if you are a pacifist, don't train for combat.

Proper safety, and good practice. Do not become complacent.

But on a more serious note: Every one should take a minute to look around the room they are in. See how many tools you use every day that can be used as weapons.

Kitchen knives, writing sticks, keyboards, cords, game controllers. To a master any thing is a weapon.

Funny note: Open your underwear drawer, any number of those items in there could be used as a weapon.
