“Yup. I would have shot him.”

I wouldn’t have... If I had a revolver I wouldn’t feel that threatened by someone with a knife. It’s hard to believe he thought his life was in danger. I wouldn’t be looking for an opportunity to kill somebody...

perhaps I made an unclear point. let me restate. Come at me with a knife in a threatening manor, ie trying to stab me. and I will shoot you in the head.

My guess is that you haven’t seen the gruesome pictures of someone who has been on the receiving end of a knife blade. It’s terrible what a knife can do to your body. I’m not talking about sticking them, I’m talking about carving them up like a turkey. A knife is just as deadly as a pistol.

So, you would have preferred being knifed???

“I wouldn’t have... If I had a revolver I wouldn’t feel that threatened by someone with a knife.”

And....how many times have you been threatened by someone with a knife?????

Your naivety shows that you have never been in that situation.

If one threatens the life of legitimate authority with deadly force, then be prepared to meet the delivery of deadly force by legitimate authority.

Conflicts of deadly force have justified the truism, “don’t bring a knife to a gun fight”.
