Sure, I am going to run at the end of a firearm with mace in my hand. I am dead before the mace go’s off.
As opposed to waiting to get shot? Good call.
A couple guys on a train in France disarmed a jiahdi with their bare hands. When you’re about to get killed, your best weapon is the one that you have on you. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to ambush a guy entering a room trying to kill everyone.
