On the subject of bringing a knife to a gunfight. During one of several certification training sessions to obtain my expandable baton instructor certificate, the instructor was a former Captain of the South Africa special forces. Using non lethal training aids, that "old man" demonstrated on several occasions how he could take you out using only a knife even when you were armed with a firearm whether it was in your holster or in your hand. His speed and tactics were something to behold. One can only imagine him in his prime. it gave a new perspective on the dangers of a knife in the hands of someone who knows how to use one and to never be complacent or over confident simply because you have a gun. He also preached situational awareness constantly. He was a very unassuming man and one that earned a high level of respect from all that attended his class.
