You bring what you want but I will be bringing my 357.
Lets have some fun: Switchblade or Brass knuckles?

I use mine for opening letters. That is about all.

Me too. I could never understand that crap in Star Wars where they have those light sabers. Why have a weapon so advanced and still fight it out man to man like a couple of old pirates? I have never seen any episode of Star Wars completely through. I started with the first one and didn't even make it half way through.
Geeze, Cary, it's just an action/adventure movie . . . not reality.
I agree. Watched the movies DUNE and DUNE 2
With my 23 yr old grandson. He loved them both. I could barely get through them.
They had starship, energy weapons and nukes. But the armies are fighting each other on the ground with short swords. What the hell.
PS. I know it is Hollywood but jeesh
The recent remakes are not something I can remain awake while watching.I agree. Watched the movies DUNE and DUNE 2

The 1970s version with Kyle McLauchlin was much better, I think.
Oh geez....don't summon that nutcase!
I figured if I didn't use the "L" word it might slip by.
For those who dislike light sabers, how about westerns with 27-shot Colt revolvers?
At less than 20 feet it is as deadly as a Handgun .
25 years back, my friend had me pull a rubber knife on him. I begged him to go easy on me as I knew his skill. He said he would do it slowly and not bend my arm too much. I was nervous. The 8" blade was covered in rock climbers chalk to mark him if I hit. Long story short, I lunged and he closed the distance and had me on the ground begging for mercy before I could blink. The idea of a knife fight scares the heck out of me.

I have a set of brass knucks somewhere. I bought them as a "paperweight" at a gun show about 35 years ago. I guess I would take the switchblade if I had to pick one of the two,
I always have my Walters with me as well. Both about 4' long. One is a smooth sycamore (light and fast) the other is a gnarly hickory that I doubt I could break if I tried.Being olde, I have a 6' staff. Not only is it a good defensive weapon, I can part the waters at the Marina, like Moses.

That depends on who's wielding it.
It also depends on whether the person with the knife is attacking or defending. If defending, how many attackers?
All of the scenarios where the person with the knife is attacking, even if the knife gets to the person with the gun, the knife wielder still gets shot. The defender with the gun gets stabbed unless trained for that type of encounter. For an attacker with a knife it is, at best, a Pyrrhic victory.
Bottom line, under any scenario I can think of, I want a gun. Some freinds with guns would be nice too.
