A gun is a DISTANCE weapon, unless you stick a bayonet on it or it’s out of ammo and you’re using it as a club.

Always cracks me up how people get so close with a gun the other guy can just reach out and touch them like a palm slap match.

That’s what you have to do with a knife if it’s all you have, never a gun. I always heard flee a knife and charge a gun, just hope I never have to actually do it though.

Jimmy Hoffa was on trial in Chattanooga, TN back in the days of Bobby Kennedy if I recall correctly.

Some guy was going to kill him in the courtroom and Hoffa charged him and knocked him out.

He was called a brave man, etc. and his reply was that you learned on the street to run from a knife but you can’t outrun a bullet.

I tried it in 1975, and got shot. Still carry the .32cal in my left hip.
