I trained with a group that did extensive practice with defending against (and defending with) knives, and at touching distance - typical mugger distance - and I came to think a knife is much harder to defend against than a handgun, and very scary.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 10:46 pm We have had a couple threads/posts of knife attacks the past few weeks. A few with police officers with guns. One thing I can't help but do when I watch a video like this is wonder what would I have done in this situation. She came out of nowhere at him. Even if he were carrying concealed he would not have had time to draw his gun to stop her attack. If he was armed and he shot her as she ran away, would some libtard court claim he was no longer under a threat from her.
My other thought concerns a knife vs a gun type scenario. Even if you shoot your attacker as they rush you, there is still a good chance of being stabbed before they die. I am beginning to believe a knife may be more dangerous than a gun. I found this link that has some interesting reasons a knife can be more deadly.

In this particular case (the OP), the fact that the victim did not see it coming meant he wasn't able to execute any defense. However, if he had even a moment's notice, he could have at least protected his throat (if he had some training). Probably would have been cut somewhere else, but somewhere else less deadly.
