Don't bring a pistol to a knife fight
A robber armed with a pistol tried to rob a Japanese restaurant in Paris, France. When he tried to steal the tips, seven waiters stabbed him to death with sushi knives.
All seven waiters were arrested.
An accomplice, who was armed with a stun gun, was also arrested.

I have no idea what French law on self defense is. It's S.O.P. in most European countries to arrest everyone and let the court sort them out.

I'll save that one as proof that knives are more dangerous than guns. I strongly encourage Knife Control measures in the US. (Just leave my guns alone!)

They were such cut-ups!
Springfield XD(m) 9mm 3.8 | Springfield XD-45 Compact | Springfield XD-9 Service
Kimber Pro CDP II .45 ACP | Kimber Pro Aegis II 9mm w/Crimson Trace | Walther PPS 9mm
Bushmaster AR-15 w/Magpul pistol grip and foregrip, Bushnell holosight
I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.
