Dumb , fat and happy . Disrespect the knife to your own detriment !
It's in "close quarters" that the blade is superior . Much harder to disarm or hold off a DE fighting knife than any firearm , and most people who CC have no training / practice with gun retention . Many have no real skill at hand to hand combat whatever .
The gun is great at a distance . Not so much once " in the clinch " .
Lots of cops have been disarmed and sometimes even shot with their own guns . So , better methods of gun retention were developed . Some of those techniques involve using a knife to "protect" the gun !
