ducky Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Yeah, knives can be turned agaisnt you. so can a gun
Ktonix Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 Any weapon can be turned against you!. Personally I have 10 bladed weapons and 2 replica firearms ( airsoft ) but personally I would take my bokken out. #1 if He is wielding a knife, I now have better reach and if he tried to attack me he would get his hands wrists and arms broken very quickly. Not only am I able to guage the amount of force nessicary to incapcitate him, but if nessicary, any hit to the head will either knock him out or kill him. And really if the person was carrying a gun , most likely he is ready to use it considering he is bringing one to your house. So how is any knife going to be good unless I can get within range, or have the expertice to be able to throw my bladed weapon perfectly.
Treebranch Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 If someone broke into my house. IT'S SASHIMI TIME! "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
CapitalKarate Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 If someone broke into my house, I'd have so much fun, but at the same time I'd have a hard time figuring out which weapon to use. See, I have a 47 inch paul chen katana right next to my bed, a bokken on the other side of my room, three daggers hanging on my wall, a set of nunchaku on my wall, a united cutlery double bladed (not double edged, double bladed [tho i would think it would be crappy for fighting with]), a united cutlery double bladed knife, a pair of hand sharpened sais over my bed, a full tang katana sword set on my wall, a cheap sword set against my wall, and a bo, but thats only for my long weapons, for knives and shorter weapons? two cold steel throwing tomahawks on my closet shelf, a cold steel OSS (great knife) on my closet, a ka-bar usmc fighting knife next to the oss, a 17 inch ebay knife i cut down to a 12 inch fighting knife similarly designed to the one in "The Hunted" but with a much sharper point, a rambo bowie on my closet, and a whole footlocker full of pocket knives (mostly messed up ones). as for which one(s) i would probably use? i'd either go for my sais or for a sai and a tomahawk (gotta have a sharp edge when fighting) Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.
ZR440 Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Don't ask this guy how many/what types of sharpening stones he has. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
CapitalKarate Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 you do NOT want to know Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.
embm Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 I'd use my 120 pound German Shepard. Team RespectI may have taught you everything you know, but I haven't taught you everything I know. Age and treachery can beat youth and speed any day.
ZR440 Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 That's one of the best home defense weapons to have, but are you sure that's a dog (at 120lbs)? It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
CapitalKarate Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 i have a white german shepherd, full grown, and rather large, but its only 60-70 pounds, there's not way you can have a 120 lb shepherd w/o it being in some majorly bad shape.

CapitalKarate Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 but, anywho, back to the original topic....does anyone here possibly know what the laws are for virginia in regards to someone breaking into your house and possibly endangering your family?
