And how would you use the gun if you had no arms?
When I took the NRA Basic Pistol course in 2006, there was a man there that was missing his right hand (I can't remember if it was a birth defect, or an injury that cost him his hand). He was an avid skeet shooter, and did ok with a pistol.
A friend of mine has a disability where his legs don't work and he's stuck in a wheelchair, and could make him a target. He has a pistol, not only for self defense but for target shooting.
My point was that guns are not useful in self defence (see earlier link to NewScientist article analysing gun related deaths)
