(Photos: R ichard B ro w n ) Save 30% on dental bills. Gun purchasing increase (Please turn to Page 6 col 3) Q u ite a d iffe re n t view o f self- defense is held by Terry Dobson, who is writing a book to be titled •‘Safe and A live.” It is based in part on principles derived from the mar tia l art o f A ik id o , which he has studied and taught for many years. Dobson turns around the gun ad vocate’ s favorite argument, which is th at “ guns do not k ill people, people kill people.” that is so, he agrees. Consequently, self-defense should be a matter o f people dealing with people rather than a matter o f guns. T h e p o s s e ss io n o f g u n s • r e in - forces p a ra n o ia ,” says D obson. “ Don’t worry about the increase of guns -- just be alert to danger,” he advises. " I f you are faced with a gun, don’t resist it.” T he fo rm o f self-defense that Dobson teaches requires a person under attack to seek to protect not himself but his attacker -- from the harm that would come to the a t tacker from commission o f the act. The by-product is self-protection. Instead o f being based on resistance, this process calls for an acceptance o f the on-coming force, a blending with it and its redirection in such a way that no injury occurs. Says Dobson: " N o gun law will stop a person who is determined to lay down his life to kill somebody.” H ow ever, he holds, m any deaths could be avoided by stemming the proliferation o f handguns. Though gun control advocates are not optim istic about chances for federal legislation in the coming Reagan years, Orasin notes: " N o one is safe in this country. The ran domness o f killing is increasing and it has spread nationwide. The next ad m in is tra tio n have to face that somehow."
