Some guy tackles you and you're unable to retrieve your gun from its holster. You are now fighting for you life, what is your gameplan? Do you lift weights or anything to help you in these situations? As preppers we really should be prepared for all scenarios.

I would release my pokemons! And some of them have a really high CP!

This is a very reasonable scenario and we should all train accordingly. Strength and endurance are very important and I try to jog and lift weights at least a few nights a week.

Situations like this are scary, we try to be prepared but it's a tough 24/7 job. Look at what happened with Zimmerman - saw some guy who looked suspicious, called the police and got out of his car to see where he ran off to. A few minutes later he's laying on the ground being pummeled. Not a smart move on his part, but he found himself on his back desperately trying to get his gun with a guy on top of him. So his problem became two fold: shoot the guy beating you senseless AND make sure he doesn't grab it the gun.

Your right, not a smart move by Zimmerman. In fact, pardon my french, George Zimmerman is a dump f who went out looking for trouble and when he found it he was too soft to take on a 17 year old kid without pulling his gun. To top it off he was told by 911 dispatch to not go after the guy yet he just had to play the volunteer policeman role because he was a neighborhood watch captain. Ya, he went looking for trouble and when trouble found him he couldn't handle himself without using lethal force and yet I do believe he was in fear for his life when it happened so technically he was covered by stand your ground even if he was a dumbass while doing it.

Being strong mentality as well as situational awareness, and physical prowness are a big part of self defense. You should know what the heck is going on, where the threat is at, how big the threat is, and what are your options for dealing with the threat. In some states you may not be under an obligation to retreat yet I still believe that if you can disengage and fall back then that should be one of your first options in dealing with a situation. There is no shame in retreat despite what some may say. If you do have to confront can you do so verbally or if you go hands on can you handle yourself? Lethal force should and always be your last option. Force is a weird thing, there are going to be different answers for different people. Ive seen in this thread where some of our older members have posted and given a situation thats turning physical they would be correct in using lethal force, especially if they can't handle themselves going toe to toe with an aggressive person. Myself it would be different, I'm a 6'2 300 former offensive lineman that can have a nasty disposition and can take a lot of punishment when the time comes for it and I have a little training in physical confrontation. Given the scenario that was posted I'd probably mind my own business or try to calm the dude down until it got physical then it would be attitude adjustment time until the threat was gone or law enforcement arrived.

Oh wait, this is a different troll thread he started, I thought I was posting in the DMV or postoffice one. Either scenario same result. Mind your own business until it gets to a point where you can't, try to talk the dude down a bit, then attitude adjustment. I wouldn't have an issue getting my gun out, I have a holster made by Dwight and its a dream to wear.

Anyways if I was in a fight and couldn't get my gun here is my prediction or answer.

 

[Real Old Man]

If I can reach back between my legs, I'll use the girlie defense and grab his dangle as hard as I can and rip it off.

 

[dwight55]

The one I prefer right now is a Kershaw Blur. It's a spring assist and I can work it with either hand. I used to use a spyderco endurance for the same reason. But I like the spring assist better. Remember, this is my working tool primarily and a defense tool only if needed. But since I use it almost daily for something, I'm very familiar with it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Coastie dad, . . . I hit the Ebay pages to see what one looked like, . . . checked out the prices here, there, and a few other places, . . . found a guy who didn't like his, . . . was willing to part with it for about half price.

Could not pass it up as I needed a new knife.

Have to admit that I really do like it, . . . just got to get the right wrench so I can move the clip to the other end of he knife, . . .

You made a good recommendation here, . . . and I thank you.

May God bless,
Dwight

@dwight55:
Glad I could help. You'll find its easy to sharpen and holds an edge fairly well. And if you lose it, you won't cry too much.

What if they sneak up behind you with a ninja sword and cut your head off

 

[Old SF Guy]

I use whichever technique I have to, to do one of two things...gain distance to draw...or close in to subdue. I'm going to go for something immediately debilitating. Bite a nose off, Break an elbow, gouge out an eye or rip an ear off, or just choke them out. You gain distance by making them want to pull away from you then shoving them off at the same time. Then pull and shoot... or choke them out (blood choke) and hold it until the cops come...if your lucky his brain will be forever dead from lack of blood flow to the brain.

Rememer this line "I thought he was trying to kill me...I was in fear for my life....I fought until the threat was eliminated,Thank God you all got here, Can I call my attorney now?

thanks for the chuckle

A few of my LE friends swear by the Kabar TDI knife as a "get off me" option if they're unable to draw their firearm.

They work well, for utility. I replaced the chain with 550 paracord, and tightened up the retention on the sheath

in meatchicken one can"t carry a blade for self defense, so mine is for cutting rope and tape

 

[The Tourist]

Believe it or not, I've never carried a neck knife.

I guess I like stuff clipped tight or "lashed down" and something bobbing and weaving doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

I do carry knives left, right and inside my vest pocket. It's hard to pick your favorite child, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say that the TOPS tanto C.A.T. is the best fending weapon made.

Now, I'll also admit that the TOPS C.U.T. 4.0 is the most lethal knife I've ever held. Every edge--and the butt--is a weapon.

 

[AquaHull]

I wear in under my shirt, no issues

 

[paraquack]

I have this posted at the front and back door of the house even tho it's a lie.

But this would much closer to the truth.

Oh yah, the cat is a pretty good shot with the bird gun.

 

[rav373]

Easy, fight so that you gain the advantage either to run away to create distance so that you can draw your weapon.

 

[turbo6]

My favorite "defense" knife I own is a Cold Steel Pro Guard. Probably the best retention I've experienced with a knife. Much less likely to drop it or have it taken from you.

It's based on the La Griffe style knives that were among the first to have that retention hole on the blade for your finger. Meant to be small, light and easy to hold on to. Expensive but a great design.

Definitely a decent back up for a firearm, imo.

Simple and direct. Distract him a second then spry him with oc. When impossibilitato to act, just put out his eyes and try to kill him.
