Kevin, it just wasn’t your day, was it? The NERVE of the guy to resist a perfectly good knife attack with a gun! :)
Last summer there was a defensive stabbing near me. It turned out that the guy defending himself with the knife was even legally armed at the time.
He said he didn’t want to escalate the situation.
If it were me I’d have gone all badass when interviewed by the paper and told them “I just wanted to know what it felt like to slide a knife into a man”.
Too bad 99% of Californians couldn’t do the same thing.
Hey, we ARE the 99%!!!
“Glock 40”? Never heard of that model ;o)
Oh he meant .40 caliber...
Not quite true. CA is a may-issue state and ccw's are handed out at the pleasure of county sheriffs or police chiefs. The county I'm in is near shall-issue. If you live in LA, Frisco or there blue meccas, you can pretty well forget getting a ccw.
Beyond 50 yards I would prefer a rifle, from 5 to 50 it would be a shotgun. From 1 to 5 yards a pistol or revolver.
From zero to a yard, maybe a pistol again but I probably would be more afraid of a guy holding a short battle axe.
Yep, that's what we need against knives. Drones, too.
Only if every citizen could be able to do that in California, not just a select, privileged few. Wouldn’t it read a much better story if ten diners all stood up and aimed their Glocks at this knife-wielding nutjob?
For me there is self defense, but none for thee. Seems the same type of incidents happened last year in Chicago and NYC. Seems like a pattern there.
