Anybody who says that someone with a knife is unarmed should be locked in a room with a bath-salts addict who is holding a knife.

It’s time to end the lie that “fists” aren’t weapons.

Firearms allow normal people a chance to equalize a violent encounter against any kind of deadly weapon.

Which is why the Left hates firearms - and their owners - so much...

I believe the trope is labeled the “Tueller Drill.” Knife guy walks to holstered victim 21 feet away. Knife guy gets close enough to holstered guy before he can draw his gun and cuts him.

Here is a link to a nice machete. I saw this added and realized it was actually a modern version of a Roman Gladius and had to have one!

Tueller Drill, yes official title. The knife holder runs, not walks to close the distance. Thanks

There is a 21 foot rule if you’re facing someone with a knife and you have a gun, you had better be backing up shooting because if you don’t move you’re dead.

A knife wielding person within 6 feet is considered potentially lethal.

A ton of wasted motion. I’d get a coupla 357 slugs in his liver before he hit me with that thing.

I am becoming more and more attracted to tomahawks. More useful/scary than a machete.
