I wouldn't think twice about going native and slicing some throats if it came to that.
LOL!!
I have a nice wide variety of EXTRA SHARP implements (in addition to a helluva pile of ammo) for just such reasons.
Included amongst my fine pieces of honed steel...one WWII vintage USMC bayonet with a 14" long blade (double edged for the first six plus inches back from the tip) which has a nice blood groove, and a triangular end-on profile. I have spent literally three hours or more restoring the blade and putting a hard, sharp edge on this beautiful classic weapon.
When/if "the day" comes , I will not require the cruel and heartless 2 minutes that A-boo Moose-lips ill-Zarqawi and his henchmen took to roughly hacksaw away at a helpless Nick Berg.
I may have far too much work to do, and be thus disinclined to waste precious minutes when mere seconds should suffice.
IMHO, every American/Aussie/U.K. household should invest in a nice set of cutlery...Gerber or Kershaw or Henckels...and always keep them clean, sharp, and well-oiled! You never know when your neighbor might need a hand at a barbeque or something...
LOL!
