Another Virginia Tech Incident :(

Try some self defense classes.  Skills plus confidence from some training or learning any kind of techniques will help keep you from looking like an easy target in all kinds of situations.  And realize most likely nothing is ever going to happen to you.

Well... defense classes won't help if someone has a gun pointed at me. Unless I take ninjutsu and learn to dodge bullets

Actually many martial arts train just for that sort of situation. If you move before they pull the trigger then they won't hit you. I've been held up at gun point 4 times. Everytime I was able to knock the gun out of the way so I could proceed to be the snot out of the person who held me up.

Self-defense (unarmed) doesn't really work with an armed attacker. You may be able to beat me silly but you will never attain a bullet-proof status.

On the flip side, a lot of shooters who are good train to hit people who try to dodge. Also, it's very dangerous to try and take a loaded gun out of someone's hand.
