PLUS, assuming everyone you will meet on the street has no training is a bad idea. This is 2011, there are TONS of people with at least some training out there
Well...there is something to be said about the "unorthodox" though.
But on a whole, if you can handle someone that is trained to fight, then someone that isn't should be easier.
Of course there are always exceptions to any rule and one should never underestimate anyone.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
