Not me. A guy told long ago "Everyone gets hurt in a knife fight".

ask the muslim dude who attacked Indiana Jones with his sword what he thinks about that idea. I'll stick with a pistol but thanks anyway knife guy

I carry both, but for different reasons. Do a quick internet search for knife wounds recieved by LEO's who hesitated just a little too long when someone armed with a blade came at them...It isn't for the squeamish.

It is obvious you did not read the article, if you did, you would not have wrote what you did.

30-40 years ago I was pretty comfortable with just knives. I'm too old for that crap now. See Dot, Shoot Dot. Doesn't get much easier.

It violates rule 1 - DON'T BRING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT.

Do they make a rail attached knife with an appropriate holster/sheath?

 

[mreed911]

In all seriousness, I carry a knife at work because I can't carry a gun.

Stun gun? Not as good as a Roscoe,but better than a knife?

Unless you want to open a box or sharpen a pencil.

I've carried a pocket knife since I was 10, so that makes 70 years with a knife of some kind in my pocket. Mostly now I use it to open the boxes from Amazon that arrive almost daily. At 80 years old, with fake knees that won't let me run, arthritic hands that can hardly make a fist, and with only one kidney that I will not risk by having a fist fight, I think I'll stick to carrying a gun. Even if the gun I carry is just a lightweight, 5 round, 38 caliber double action revolver I feel a lot more secure than if I only had the little 3 inch blade Kershaw in my pocket.

Too old for that sh!t. Too old to run.

Now THAT is funny! HA!

I prefer to be farther than arm's length from my adversary, particularly if he's armed with a knife.

I read the whole article and the guy makes some good points. HOWEVER, IMO, carrying a knife for self defense might be ok for a younger man or woman. The average person over age 40 would be at a distinct disadvantage just due to the physiology of a person of that age. You just can't bend, twist, grab, maneuver, like a younger person and just the training may mess with your body. Oh, I am sure that there are people out there over 40 that are as nimble as a younger person but I believe they are in the minority.

I also carry a knife with me daily, and now the PA has finally made assisted opening knives legal, I carry one of those a lot more. But my knife carrying is for general use and is not geared to self defense. I carry a firearm for my and my wifes protection. Pure and simple I am way more comfortable with a firearm if things go bad than with a knife.

 

[Aqualung]

He lost me when he made the point that when you run out of ammo, throwing your gun at the assailant isn't effective.

that's wrong...

Even Superman ducks when you throw the gun at him!

 

[edm1]

I carry both. The article made like you could only have one or the other. Two totally different tools. What's better? A jacket or shoes…

Even Superman ducks when you throw the gun at him!

I have been relating this story for years, six bullets bouncing off Superman's chest but he ducks when they throw the empty gun at him. Thanks for posting the video proof!

It violates rule 1 - DON'T BRING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT.

It also violates a somewhat different rule #1 (although maybe it's the same rule, just worded differently):

"KYJim's Rules of Carry"
1) Any gun is better than no gun.
2) A gun that is reliable is better than a gun that is not.
3) A hole in the right place is better than a hole in the wrong place.
4) A bigger hole is a better hole.
