Situation awareness isn't going to help much when you're trapped in a train with some guy with a knife. A gun doesn't guarantee your survival, but it's a hell of a lot better than nothing.

Except 1) if he doesn't know how to use situational awareness, his gun is useless and 2) if he did not have a gun and still knew how to exercise situational awareness, he could modify his behavior to keep himself from being a target and/or discourage the man from attacking. Guns are a last resort and if you don't know the proper steps and techniques to avoid confrontations before they escalate then I can pretty much guarantee you that your gun is useless to you.
