Buffalo Holster Company is what it says.

I’m with you.

I had a nephew that was attacked by 5-6 ethnics in Cambridge Mass a year back, the boy was an accountant, came out of an eatery after Celtics game; barely seen them coming, didn't even get a good look at their faces; except that they were blk. They beat his head off the cobblestones and he was in hospital for a few weeks with a double skull fracture. He came up caribou hunting last fall and I told him it will never happen again in his life, don't let the anger eat him up. I was shot at by ethnics many years back, watching those orange flashes from 15 yards, bullets wizzin by, me unarmed. I've been armed ever since, just waiting to pay Trayvon back, but that doesn't really do you any good. We don't live within 200 miles of any ethnics here in Alaska, no crime anyway; so I'll never get to relive that experience with a different outcome, kind of crazy.

From what I see, those knockout guys don't confront a person, they run up from behind. Wait until some White guy has a gun out and kills a few of them; they you'll hear about it for sure. Also, my nephew said in many places back east, pistols are illegal, nobody has a 1911 on their belt. That's hard to even fathom in Alaska?

She may have been thinking, “They won’t hurt me. I have an Obama sticker on my bike.” Ditto the NYC Democrat congresswoman who was knocked down and robbed in SE DC the other day.

[Standing Wolf]

Hmmm! Why don’t more people in Washington, D.C. get concealed carry permits and carry guns?

[cherry]

I don't advocate any violence but the only way its going to change finally is for libtards to get a dose of reality hitting them over the head....

or one of their loved ones killed or severely disabled....

you know they take any white kids flimsy talk about violence and they conjure up a huge Littleton massacre and put him away for all kinds of things when the kid never actually did anything...

yet these animals attacking innocents and they call it a "game" as in, checkers or chess.....

[Eagles6]

I’ll stick with a handgun and a 300+ lumen flashlight.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Very funny.

[Eagles6]

Some states do, some don't. Majority of states east of the Mississippi have concealed carry. NY & north not so much except VT, without looking.

They're predators. They look for the weak and unprepared. They like to have 3 to 1 superiority and they're confident the vic is unarmed.

[Eagles6]

That’s it.

[piytar]

Bear spray? LOL. Try a knife I have trained with for many years and a 9mm.

If anyone tries the knockout game on me, they die.

PS Been mugged twice. Or rather, two punks have tried to mug me. Did not go the way they expected...

It would be so cool if you could have a hat that detects fast moving objects and flips a shield covered with short spikes over your face. Put some padding on the inside to cushion the blow. An airbag with spikes.

Actually, the usual MO is to casually approach on the sidewalk as if just walking the other direction, then swing without warning.

IOW, it's a surprise attack and the only way to prevent it by armed action is to shoot before the attack starts, which would be considered utterly unjustified in every state in the country. Or be fast enough to dodge the swing, draw and fire. Which is I suppose possible.

The most likely outcome of this story is that some white person will shoot a black guy he/she thinks is planning such an attack. Possibly accurately, maybe not.

It will be claimed the black guy was utterly innocent, and it might even be true. Mass moaning and wailing over "walking while black" will follow.

[ontap]

This is taking place where victims have been disarmed!!

[bert]

Being armed is not relly a defense. The numerous videos clearly show the attacks come from concealment (behind) and are so sudden there is no time for reaction

[Mad Dawgg]

"Could "Knockout Game" be spreading to DC?"

I would pay good money to watch if it spreads to the White House and the Capital Building...!

[ontap]

The defense comes in the perp knowing if he fails to get the knockout he might die!!!

[La Lydia]

Yes. She is a stupid, smug white person who was riding a bike, by herself, at 10 o’clock at night in THAT PART OF TOWN (well, really, anywhere in DC at that time of night).

Stay out of range...
