and I'm super used to knives and guns

as long as he wasn't presenting the blade and threatening me I wouldn't even register it as a threat

I once had to disarm my cousin in law on a cruise ship cause he threatened to stab one of my other cousins... he was waving it around in the dining area

but those people freaked the fuck out

yeah, see, that's a fucking tard

I know knives. I personally hate guns, though I know how to handle a rifle & shotgun thanks to my time in Boy Scouts.

sperging the fuck out and waving a weapon everywhere is retarded

let's ban kitchen knives, because no one needs a knife that big

I like guns.

I like knives.

I like responsible people using tools

@Deller ay, a fellow former scout

In terms of weapons, I can't think of anything I'd scoff at

While I’m not a gun person, I respect the fact others like them. Just because I don’t want to own one doesn’t mean someone else can’t enjoy them

The scouts were taken over by mormons so I decided I didn't wanna participate

It really depends on your troop

I'm sure

not my cup of tea

I gotta go shooting tomorrow but my head started hurting pretty bad

I find guns to be impersonal. If I’m going to be forced to take a life, I’m going to force myself to look at that person. If I can’t watch them die & live with myself, I don’t deserve to end their life.

I dunno if I'll actually be able to go

Don't shoot folks who don't deserve it?

You don't bring a knife to a gunfight

Unless the fight is within 10 feet.

And the gun is still holstered

I dunno what you're imagining

use case scenario of nearly never

lol

Unless you are a cop, then it very common

Actually, very common in a lot.of self defense cases

Close range yes

but shanking someone instead of shooting them is pretty rare

There is a reason the first rule of self defense is create distance

usually they... yeah

you pull out your firearm while moving backwards

and if they're trying to grab something move sideways so that they'd need to take more time to target you

I don't remember all the shit

Point being, at close range even a pistol is not gonna help you.

Until you make space

There are actually training sessions where you utilize semi-automatics and snubnose revolvers in close quarters

and knives too I think
