“””””In my CC class I learned that someone with a knife is as dangerous as if not more dangerous than someone with a gun.””””
Which is ridiculous, I have had many run ins with both and I will always prefer that the other guy have a knife instead of a gun.
A guy with a knife still has to close on you, has to fight you, and he has to get the knife into you, and he has to get that knife or slash to a place on you that is disabling or fatal. A five year old girl can point and shoot a pistol from 10 feet away.
I saw a guard slashed 500 stiches with an exacto knife before he knew what hit him and also an inmate with his throat cut to the bone with a single edged razor blade. the 21-foot rule is for real in knife attacks.
