The act of self-preservation, is one of the most basic of all human instincts. There are many people who truely believe that a person does not have the right to use deadly force when necessary to defend their (or someone elses) life. Lots of govts, mostly Socialist types, subscribe to this insane logic, and by banning law-abiding good people the right to access weapons that can be used as such. I will never submit to this kind of logic.
Having said that, I mostly carry not to flash, and amaze with tricky manipulations, but because I want a knife that will do the job it was intended to do if it's ever called on in a really bad situation.
Having said that, the knife would never be used until the last round is expended from my handgun, because that's what will be used long before ever resorting to a blade of any kind.
I WILL NOT be a victim, because someone else thinks I should be, or takes away may right by 'law' to defend my home, family, and not least, myself.
