Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

This is where you reach into your pocket for your carry gun and shoot the bastard. (Sorry, New Yorkers, you'll have to just die.)

You bet. I'll leave that to you tough guys. I'll shoot him with my 9Mm.

This is a demonstration, DO NOT TRY THIS in real life, unless you have lots and lots of practice.

Going for your gun is a very bad idea. There are training videos of actual police against a knife-armed opponent. The opponent will stab you 5 times before you clear your holster. If you have a gun, run away while you pull your gun. This will give you precious seconds. If you don't have a gun. Just run.
You can't win.

Yes, I expect we all know to run. We're matching silliness for silliness. This video is silly. It's aimed for 15 year old boys and guys taking their first self defense class who think they are hard asses.

Shouldn't someone just pull out a gun and shoot the guy several times? Seems like a better solution.

Getting turned into hamburger this way is not good advice.

Functional self-defense against knives requires years of practice. It also requires the attacker to not have a lot of experience with a knife. Real knife fighters don't go for a kill right off the bat. They slice you so you will bleed. Once you are weakened from the loss of blood, they will go for the kill, if that's what they wanted.

That's not a knife...

This video is worse than useless, it offers dangerous advice. Suprised that you offered it up BD.

Great stuff! Not easy to find this type of information lately. Not clear why. Appreciate it.

Of course its not meant to stand alone. Its part of a whole training method.
