I was also a bit confused (short sighted) as to why a knife might be a CHL’s first option. This was a good explanation. I need to think about a weak side pocket knife of some sort. And at a minimum, drawing and unfolding practice, weak handed.Skiprr wrote:If a guy bum-rushes you and pins you back against the hood of a Camry, odds are you can’t get to your handgun. If you could, it would be a weak draw and might be easily taken away.
Knives, especially folders, are usually carried clipped in a front pocket. I’d suggest that be high in the offhand pocket.
Why? Because if you carry your gun strong-side hip or appendix, you can protect it by clamping your arm over it and using the blade in your off-hand to disable or fend off your attacker long enough—far enough—to deploy your firearm.
That’s the purpose of a blade: to fight back to your handgun.
