In the south, we are issued knives at our birth and they put them in the casket when you go. If you don't have a pocket knife on you, the phrases "You ain't from around here are ya?" or "I don't know, but that boy just ain't right." will often be heard.
Growing up, I was never without one even at school. But in all those years (even a stint in the Army)I have never had occasion to need one in a defensive situation. Perhaps I lead a sheltered life, but Atlanta and New Orleans can be pretty rough areas. Has anyone ever had to use their knife for self-defense? (If you used it for offense, your lawyer advises you not to comment). If so, what was the outcome and what knife/knives were you using?
This is not meant to dredge up painful memories, but I am just curious.
BTW: The subject line was the newspaper copy they would never run. Along with "Life Saved By Lawfully Armed Citizen". Funny place this country
