That doesn't mean they have to undertake extensive training, which would be counter-productive, but they can learn some basics and understand the overall dynamics from those who have.

You bring this idea of inadequately trained self defenders up a lot, but you always seem vague about the specifics. Other than carrying a snub I don’t recall you actually putting any detail behind it in your posts.
So, other than carrying a snub, what do you consider to be “the basics” that the “over 60” crowd of armed self defenders are missing?
How much training is not extensive and not counter productive?
