LOL, the vast majority of people have no idea of how to fight with a sword. “Pointy end goes into the other man”. If they have watched TV or movies, they fight like Conan.

There are a surprisingly large number of swordsman around today, far more than there were in the 1980s. In Phoenix, for example, the Society for Creative Anachronisms holds a regular Melee blunt sword fighting every week in season, that turns out hundreds of swordsmen.

And it’s not uncommon to see people walking or riding around in the evening with a sheathed sword tied to their backpack.

Granted there are concealed carry guns all over the place as well. Fewer open carry unless it’s hot out.

Never bring a sword to a gun fight.....but sometimes they will do in a pinch.

I once cornered a home intruder with a Bowie knife. Luckily he wasn’t armed, and I let him go because it was just some kid, probably around 17 or 18. Idiot. I also didn’t want blood all over my floor, or want to explain to the police why there’s a dead body in my living room.

A little hint to the perp, you usually either get out of the way of the punch or do a high block to counter it. Normally it is ill-advised to block it with your eye. It appears you might not be familiar with this advise.

” he is a Christian and doesn’t believe in killing.”

Those are two distinctly different beliefs.

According to some friends on Facebook, he is a pretty well respected SCA member who is a ranked heavy fighter in sword, shield and heavy armor. The guy who broke in is lucky to be alive

someone better explain to him you can be christian and kill someone in self-defense. not that you WANT to or take pleasure in killing, but that if it happens in self-defense, it’s a result of their attack, not an end goal of yours.

Luke 22: 36

36: And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

Bible says you can’t “murder.” No where does it say you can’t kill in your own defense.
