Now *that's* dangerous advice.
At least in the US, self-defense situations quite often involve guns. Home invaders in particular are especially likely to be armed.
While I guess it's possible to visualize a scenario in which empty-handed aikido can defeat an intruder with a gun, I sure wouldn't bet my life on it or advise anyone else -- regardless of level -- to do so.
