Nope. Fighting will get me killed. I ALWAYS have a knife on me. I'll take at least two of the shit stains with me though. I know lots of places to strike where you will bleed out in less than a minute.
No you won't. Knives are s shit weapon. You pull it , you get shot.
Smoke and fear are far more potent weapons.
Can't apprehend what you can't see
It is in fact amazingly difficult to actually shoot someone who is already at knifing distance who is intent on both cutting you and not getting shot. You can get past the muzzle of a gun very easily at melee distance, especially if all the other guy has is a rifle. And you only need one hand to keep control of your opponent's gun if you have any modicum of skill. You don't have to keep him from shooting it and in fact you probably won't, but all you have to do is keep him from shooting it at you.
You will get shot by his buddies, sure, but not before you've stuck your pigsticker in his spleen.
This is why the oinkers are always so keen on the 21 foot rule.
I've been shot before. That doesn't stop me, unless they get lucky. I agree about smoke, but if they come to my house, I have molotovs.
