When you're about to go lights out for good, that hardly matters. Either you're serious about self defense, in which case you'd take some knife classes, or you're not.
Judged by 12, meet carried by 6.
Nobody is arguing that. Knives don't negate OC. There's a reason why cops carry a whole array of SD tools on them. No reason we can't take a page out of their book. A little pocket knife can be a life saver, both literally and figuratively.
Again, judged by 12 v carried by 6. You're gonna face the exact same legal issues (even more so) with a firearm. As for disease, if you're forced into THAT particular corner, is it better to die than get someone's blood on you? Alright, so you contract something that's most likely treatable, and if it's not and you only get another 10 years, isn't that better than 0 years?
While I get the lights out if lethal force is needed the problem usually it’s not and if it is most folks can’t fight and will get smashed and slashed up themselves by a real criminal that has been fighting his whole life
And most folks have never seen what a real knife attack looks like from someone that knows what they are doing and if they have a knife too your gonna get cut!
And ok I mean this respectfully but don’t know how to say it. But first a question.
Have you ever been mirandized for a use of force or anything?
I doubt it because everybody that says that is full of poop and has never been through that. I have been mirandized 2 times by OIG agents, for use of force investigations for possible civil rights violations. I also have several training friends that have shot several folks from California to NYPD that have went through the gamut.
The judged by 12 is dismissive and shows they have never had real exposure to see if that whole Homicide or attempted homicide I you did if you met the criteria of sub section A or B that it was legal!
Everyone throws out Rittenhouse and Zimmerman well Rittenhouse (which folks that use the Judeged by 12 Bs phrase) had kver a year of hell and had no clue if he was going to prison til the verdict.
Zimmerman the same way (and if Zimmerman would have used OC or better yet not put himself in close proximity to the kid) we wouldn’t know who he or the kid was he wouldn’t be 500K in debt lost his house had his wife leave him and be completely unemployable because of public perception
Same with Rittenhouse to a lesser extent but they won right?!?!?
I have also as a Municipal PD guy had tough guys (many shouting or had window stickers judged by 13 insured by gun brand X) completely cry like babies because they were getting arrested for battery.
So the projected intestinal fortitude most say they have they sometimes when cuffs go in and it gets real!
So When I hear that I hear someone tell the world they are a blow hard!
Again I am trying to be respectful
Also as far as “case law” it doesn’t matter a Prosecutor can charge someone it doesn’t matter (Rittenhouse) all they need is beyond a reasonable doubt to convict if they loose thwre is no recourse.
That’s called Absolute Immunity that protects prosecutors and Jusges. That’s what really need removed not Absolute immunity but that’s another topic
