I knew it was a typo, but I liked it. I liked it a lot. 😉

Here’s a thought just shot the guy/girl with the knife, even if the guy is illegal.

In an altercation involving a knife you should expect to get cut whether you win or lose.

True. Most assailants aren’t going to telegraph that they have a knife and will stab you until very close. And even at my half century, if I were within ten feet of someone and hell bent on stabbing them there’s not much they can do to prevent it.

Scott Adam’s admonishment comes to mind.

One of my EDC guns is German. It's a beautiful piece, reliable and accurate. I get to carry it, the people who made it don't.

If even Israel won't reconsider its gun control it's a lot to expect Germany to. I wouldn't expect to see any loosening of the fundamental right of self-defense anywhere the denial of it has been cemented in place by a political class who has its own safe spaces and bodyguards.

What happens if the political class who has its own safe spaces and bodyguards becomes so despised by the vulnerable public that even the bodyguards (and their families and friends) are no longer safe from public retribution? The remaining bodyguards may decide to have some retribution against the elites of their own. Unintended consequences that the elites failed to comprehend.

Will ... bring it out and discuss other features she should be aware of....

9mm ammo is again affordable. If not already doing so, periodic live fire practice at 5, 10, 20 yards will be most helpful.

Shoot, shovel, shut up.

Or, where I’m at, shoot, throw in the back of the truck, take to the gator farm, and shut up.
