A clerk in New Bedford, Massachusetts turned the tables during a convenience store robbery.
When the would-be robber pulled out his knife, clerk Brian Patel pulled out a sword.

video?
Never bring a knife to a Sword fight!!!
That was awesome!
Click on the link and wait through the furniture ad. The video is there. It makes a boy proud.
Pretty cool, but in close quarters it is hard to wield a sword. I suggest a handgun, or a shotgun.
Now they will want to ban swords (and feet)!
Brave guy ought to get a shotgun. He won this one but the sword won’t help much against a pistol.
This was in Massachusetts.
One cannot help but think of a certain scene in the film “Crocodile Dundee”...
I like the clerk’s comment: “It’s not good to give them the money. They’ll just keep coming back for more.”
Too true! Maybe his tactics need to be applied to the Politicians?
So I guess that one of the birthplaces of liberty has already abrogated the 2nd Amendment?
awesome
The sword developed in the Bronze Age, evolving from the dagger; the earliest specimens date to ca. 1600 BC.

Oh, yes. Long ago.
Sad.
Tragedy that he lives in Massachusetts. Were he able to own a gun, with two robberies he could have potentially saved their taxpayers 4 million dollars, the cost of trying and incarcerating armed robbers for 20 years each.
Of course, Massachusetts judges would likely give them “time served”, so they would be back on the street robbing people before sundown.
Even more reason for there to be gun rights in Massachusetts. If the government doesn’t protect the people from criminals, which it can’t, then people need to protect themselves. If violent criminals die because of it, well, tough.
If he was a clerk for a convenience store chain like Circle-K or Cumberland Farms....he’d be fired for doing that.
Great Video - Need more like him
"That's not a knife...."
Here is a prime example why citizens should be able to own sawed-off shot guns (more appropriately short-barreled shotguns) or a SBR without any restrictions, tax stamps, etc.
A 12 gauge shotgun is even better!
