Guess what? One of them has survived.

Would that have happened with a gun? Nope.

He thought he had killed them both.

Bullets to the head would have made it for sure.

Glad he had a knife instead. 100% improvement on mortality rate.

Much more likely to die from a knife wound than a gun shot.

Right. Cite please.

That makes the point, doesn't it!

Yeah, that a gun works a hell of lot better killing somebody through a
door or wall. Or from across the street for that matter.

He's a natural. Know how that feels.
When I was a kid I could kill flies on the wing from ten feet - with
the rubber bands I used on my paper route.
From 10-20 feet the fly had be lit. Rubber band ballistics.
Limits the killing power at range.
Some kind of hand/eye coordination I think they call it.
Amazed everybody.
Gave it up at about 14 - the family fame didn't suit me and I was
fearful of getting a big head about it.
Kept my modesty ever since, but I know you won't think I'm bragging or
something, so I don't mind telling you.

Damn shame one of the women didn't get a pistol from under the pillow
and blow his ass away.

Then jps could have something to whine about.

We were great with slingshots... I could take out a golf ball sized
target from 50 feet and my ex wife was even better...

Here more than one survived

Would that have happened with a gun? *Nope.

There was a gun used and more survived than were killed.

He thought he had killed them both.

He was wrong.

Bullets to the head would have made it for sure.

Even though you might be speaking from experience, it isn't
necessarily the case.

You may be glad, but I'm sorry any of it happened.

I have some pet toads. You ought to see them nail crickets. Then there
is Boltcutter the snapping turtle. The entire head and neck snaps out
like the tongue of a toad or frog when it nails a goldfish or baby
mouse. Luckily for the flies, the anti-cat screens keep them away from
the toads.

For those with proper training, inside of about 10 feet, I'll take the
knife and you can have the gun. I'll never lose and you'll never see
the knife.

Ahem - without getting into specifics, you are absoutely 100% correct.

B.S. Bravado.

From 10 feet away, if someone came after me with a knife in a fight and
I were holding my SIG X-5, he'd be on the ground dying from three taps
to the chest. Especially if the guy with the knife were an old fart. You
know, a guy your age or Gene's age.

Closer than 10 feet, you're assuming the guy with the pistola is
standing around and waiting for the perp and his knife to close in...

IF it were me, you'd be dead before you even got the gun out of the
holster.
