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. |

A knife wound, and I am not meaning the nicked your hand with the knife while cutting apples, causes massive bleeding. You die before they get you stabilized. |

wrote: The fact that this study is flawed is found in the assertion "The distribution of wounds is different for knife assaults and gun assaults, since victims of knife assaults have more chance to dodge and block," which is ridiculously untrue. 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. |

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... -- A wise Latina makes better decisions than a dumb elephant. |
