I’ve started a new series over at The Truth About Knives: Confessions of a Knife Fighter. My first confession: I know noth-think! But at least I’ve passed the first stage of ignorance (I don’t know how much I don’t know) into the second (I know that I don’t know much of anything). And you, dear readers, can help me with a question that’s been vexing me: what do you go for in a close-quarters combat (CQB) situation: knife or gun? I know there are loads of variables: distance to threat, closing distance of threat, access to gun or knife, number of assailants, etc. Still, generally speaking, which weapon would you (yes you) reach for first assuming a knife-wielding attacker is within ten feet and closing fast? Firearm or everyday carry edged weapon? What about having a gun as a primary for your strong hand and a knife as a primary for your weak/supporting hand? [See: 4:45 in video above]
