When someone asks for critique and someone alse suggests a knife I make the connection that it is suggested for self defense. You have to pull the knife for self defense.

A wise man once told me that you shouldn't bring anything to a fight you don't want to carry around like a rudder. I don't know how many times we have been urged to seek more firearms training because the CHL qualification is not enough.

Now we are told to pull a Spiderco against four hoods when all the training most of us have is slicing the Sunday roast or spreading PB&J?

Funny stuff.

The original gentleman is contractually and legally forbidden to carry a firearm during various work hours or while driving on company business. He might also lose his job if he chose to violate these rules due were he to value his safety more.

What would you do if you (agreed that you) could not carry a firearm?

Knives and pepper spray may be relatively weak substitutes but they are pretty much the best he has available under these rules.

One of the reason I recommend and carry knives and pepper spray -- for those time when I cannot carry more legally, or for those who cannot or will not carry a firearm.

I carry a really sharp knife all of the time.

If it was me, one agaisnt four, I doubt I would pull a knife that the four could take away from me and carve my carcass.

I stand by my post.

I would not have exited my vehicle if I saw four bangers exit a vehicle that just rear-ended me. I drive a Ford F250 Superduty diesel. Loaded down with my tools etc it goes almost 7000 lbs.

I use my truck as a weapon. I doubt a rice burning banger mobile and four bangers would handle the truck.

Herb, I have thought about these scenarios and in this one pulling a knife was not the answer. If it was for you great. Go for it. IMHO the knife suggestion was not the right one.

Anygunanywhere but probably not a knife.
