[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 662821, member: 18238"] I understand this, but I could have a half a dozen down before anyone realized that there was an attack. And for the record, someone with a knife versus someone with a gun can win much easier than you would think depending on the distance. We have a training video that shows an officer and a knife wielding assailant and the officer needs 21 feet minimum distance to even have a chance of bringing his gun into play. Even my fat butt can cover 21 feet easily in two to three seconds. Something to remember about the knife is that its silent, unless the victim is able to make noise. Guns immediately draw attention and are recognizable. Even if people start making a ruckus around the knife wielder, nobody outside the immediate area will know what's going on. Shoot a gun and the whole theater knows what's up! [/QUOTE]
