As A Senior, Do You Feel More Vulnerable When Out All Alone Somewhere?

[Davey Jones]

As with any weapon, there is always the risk of it being taken from you, so you need to be skilled enough to employ it. If not, you're better off without it.

A gun is usually a better force-projection weapon and can be used from a distance, whereas a knife is better suited for close-up fighting.

With a knife its just you and him/her, with the gun everyone nearby is in danger. Face it, most of us in that first time situation will fire are anything or anybody that moves to protect yourself because you're not thinking straight.

Franklin Regional High School, Murrysville, PA - 2014 - Alex Hribal, a 16-year-old sophomore, stabbed 20 people with a pair of 8" kitchen knives.

There are many, many other mass knifings in history. And this was just an untrained kid ...

That's an erroneous assumption, and an insult, to millions of trained, responsible gun owners.

I believe no one died, but there were many injuries.

I rest my case. It is much harder to carry out a successful massacre using just knives, although a small group of New Guinea natives armed with machetes were once able to quietly kill multiple Japanese as they slept but they were experts.

Now it is likely that this topics may have to be moved into the new category because of this post although I have been careful to avoid the g word.
