I disagree with this. Our society has no compass any longer and can no longer perform the hard task of picking the lesser of two evils.

And I disagree with that.

If I do have to pull that knife it's because I am the victim--and our coffee cafe' has seven surveillance cameras--and I also intend to be the victor. And yes, there will be a lawsuit, because I intend to sue the kid's parents for every nickel they have.

I shall then write a book, using the kid's real name and the sir names of his parents. I will also make sure all of the police photos are included in this book, all in color to show what I had to do to kill the miscreant.

And if and when I get my Boker back from the police evidence department, I will come here, display the knife (blood and all) to this forum for an auction to support other victims.

Finally, this knife will be called, "The Blade That Killed Kenny." Screw these guys.

Edit: Here's the knife I'm going to use in self defense. Yes, I have lots of spares, but I carry the black/green model most of the time.

Is this the one where the good guy takes off running away? Or maybe that what the how de defend against a knife attack.

No one leading a clean and honest life has anything to worry about from me or the polished edges. I do believe in total, unending, non-relenting, and fatal self defense. In fact, you can even stand behind me if the odds are too great for your tolerance.

I just don't like bullies. And most of the ones I've meant wilt at the first sign of an angry non-compliance.

Who in the hell couldn't see that coming....his ex...shows up holding an ax...and he's gonna play joe cool about it? ****ing christ. **** punch her, take that ax and call the cops for crying out loud. Now he's spitting teeth. his girlfriend has a permanent, no oral sex, neck wound and she, miss ax me no questions, walks away like the happy camper.

I haven’t read this entire thread and don’t know if anyone has said this but, don’t ever turn your back to someone that looks nefarious.

It was quite easy to tell in this situation.

I don’t even sit with my back to the door in a restaurant.

Who said he/she/it was his ex?

 

[Old SF Guy]

Why else would she let loose on the little lady... She was another done somebody wrong song... an he's her ax now whether he likes it or not. Bet he's wishing he'd **** punched her now. Ain't to many reason a woman gonna ax you out....must be cause you ax someone else out and she caught you and now its her turn to ax the questions.

 

[Old SF Guy]

I just noticed this was a poll. SO I chose not sure. I think I could have ended it without a killing. Grab the butcher knife from her back pocket. punch her in the puss and slam her to the ground. get the ax and then stand there like Iron Man...Man oh man....THe term, Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned....does not come from twitter wars...them creatures become devils...evil through and through.

I would have got up, then gave Lizzie Borden > 20 wacks. And I've burned wood for heat all my life.......

Actually I'm more dangerous with a knife than a pistol. I usually carry a Boker Kalashnikov 74 switchblade. However, the OP defined the issue as "with an axe." Obviously, in a situation with hand-held weapons, the axe has the distance advantage over a jackknife. For that scenario, you just have to shoot him.

That's the spirit, take a switchblade to him, or just shoot the creep! And put him out for the count, somehow, someway.

I disagree with this. Our society has no compass any longer and can no longer perform the hard task of picking the lesser of two evils. This person will get a deffence lawyer who will claim the doctor who perscribed the phsico tropic drugs need to facilitate the hormones for the sex change was at fault, the assailant will go to a state ward for 36 months and be let out with a new perscription.

It is your Civic duty to protect those who can not protect them selves.

If the opportunity to eliminate a threat against our society presents itself, finish the job.

So, you would kill him? That is how I read that. Anyway, I like your spirit too. And it is your civic duty to protect the weak, that is true.
And I will do it myself, when it is needed to be done by me.

Playing Joe Cool, was a foolhardy thing to do. Never underestimate a looney toon: and always treat them as life and death, when they show up with an axe in their hand.

That Bozo was way past looking nefarious, he was evil in the flesh; but I get your point, and I agree. And, I watch my surroundings even in church, or at the library, or anywhere else. I do not trust people, they are not trustworthy.

Meet deadly force, with deadly force. Shoot to stop the attack, not necessarily to kill anyone. If the attacker dies, occupational hazard.

Great answer.
And that reflects my thinking too, I would have put it on him.

Already survived a axe attack or I should say hatchet.
Lived in a trailer park neighbor had short temper long story short he threatened me so I called him out to beat his arse with my two hands. It was dark walking to the road to do so and before I got to the road he was on my lot and I seen him swing what appeared to be fake blue hatchet as my first thoughts it was cause my training kicked in and they used blue simulation weapons. I dodged the first swing and he tried again I dodged that one too and then he ran off as I was about to squish him. I was going to pursue but a incident before this one told me to stop and call 911 first. Paid off not chasing him and killing him due to laws in Peoples Republic of Washington. It was my word against his till they found the weapon tossed in a ditch and it was real, he had painted it blue for what reason who knows.
He got 30 days in state jail and only reason I think he got that is cause he attempted to attack a retired police officer with a rock before my incident in a road rage incident.
Only way I was able to see what was swung at me is I had one of these in hand

Sorry to hear that, I picked up a well made Bowie Knife, that I carry sometimes.

It reminds me that I am a man, and it can be used to hack off a hand, or to split a skull.

I wore on my belt, while going home from a flea market.

Washington state has changed so much that it is unrecognizable.

I looked up open carry, and it is still on the books. But I will bet that anyone tha does will get arrested.

This is heinous, and it is an attack upon everything decent. Some gender blender walked into a convenience store and took an axe to 2 people. {It looks like a guy, trying to look like a girl, at least to me.}

For me, my defense would have been, to go for the throat of the attacker. By that I mean, I would have stopped the stabbed him in the throat, while defending against his swing. If you close in to an attacker with a long weapon, you take away some dangers, but not all of them. He can still bust you in your face, and then use the axe, while you are stunned.

A Navy Seal made a movie of it. It should him taking off running. That should work by cracky

If someone struck me with an ax, I would introduce them to Jesus really quick. It’s just that simple. Jesus heals everything.

Now that's what I need, this Buck 119 knife seems bit wimpy but does the job on animal skinning. I wear it when on the road traveling to add to my armament. Thought about forging my own, I made our wedding rings from wrenches.

I have had a Buck 119, and since it has a 6" blade; it should be good for most needs.

For the situation in discussion, it would work just fine. And in this instance, it would be a case of having the determination to use it.

I admit it, that would be daunting. There could be a lot to lose.

I like them, and for chopping downward, they are awesome. I usually leave mine at home though.

Yeah though for blade edge retention and I like to customize my own stuff I rather forge my own, nothing personal.

I don't know how to forge, and I am too lazy to do it anyway. So I buy knives, I paid a guy $20 for my Buck 119.

I gave it to my nephew, after he joined the NG.

That is my thinking; and since Hell is forever, killing the killer; puts a bow on a job well done.
