Its telling how the soldier said that if he hadn’t had his kukri on him, he would have remained a ‘silent spectator’. It says a lot about the wickedness of disarming law-abiding citizens when even a Gurkha appears to balk at the idea of taking 40 armed robbers with just his bare hands.
Even the psychological effect of just having a weapon would persuade more people to do the right thing when confronted with evil...

That guy could never sneak up on you. The sound of his balls clanging together would give away his position.

What do you call a man with a Kukri?

"Sir."

Shouldn’t that be “Never bring a Gun to a Kukri fight?”
IIRC some of the robbers may have had handguns.

“I am proud to be able to prove that a Gorkha soldier with a khukuri is really a handful. I would have been a meek spectator had I not carried that khukuri,” he said.

An unarmed man is just another victim.

I love my kukri. One of the best weapons and tools I own and it only cost about $20 bucks.
