“A knife is just as deadly as a pistol.”
Nope... you have to get close enough to use a knife. Unless the person is absolutely crazed, he’s going to back off if you have a gun. Going up against somebody with a knife, there’s time for multiple warnings. That’s not the way it was reported... For instance... Just because someone has a gun does not give Leo’s the right to kill them. Same with a knife...
“He became more and more aggressive as the pursuit continued,” said Dave Couvertier, a special agent with the FBI.
“When the motorcyclist arrived at the gate on S Dale Mabry Highway, he got to his feet and confronted an FBI agent, who was at the base on unrelated business, with a knife, Couvertier said.
The agent opened fire and shot the veteran at least one time, he said.”
What part of the above are you having trouble understanding?
“Just because someone has a gun does not give Leo’s the right to kill them. Same with a knife”
Right. And you figure this how? By mindreading?
How can one know what the man with the gun or knife is thinking except that one doesn’t take out a gun or knife and threaten other people without the intention of using the weapon to kill or maim?
If someone has a gun or knife aimed at me and I can take them down with my firearm, I sure as Hell am not going to hesitate.
