Spyderco Forums

Dailex- Thank you so much for your email- I confess I did wonder where you'd gone off to. I'm sorry about the crashing of your PC ( good ol' modern technology, eh'? ) Please take care and someday when I arrive in Romania. ( It COULD happen, who knows ) Kali

My <i><b>take </b> </i> on the concept of
<i>self preservation </i> with any knife -

I tend to go along with Fred Perrin on the
use of a knife ; it's goning to be <i>really </i> difficult to explain 40 slashes to an
opponent's body.

I had been robbed at gunpoint in the <i><b>Elm City </b> </i> ( i.e. New Haven ) <i>twice </i> without the incident ending in bloodshed ; there's a clause in the so-called laws of the State's with regards <i><b>justifiable lethal force </b> </i> and if
you end up on the <i>wrong side </i> of that
clause, you're looking at some time in the State <i>peniteniary </i> . <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> A good companion to <i><b>The Spyderco Story </b> </i> would be Massad F. Ayoob's <i><b>In the gravest extreme : the role of the firearm in personal protection </b> </i> while dealing with firearms, if I remember correctly, Ayoob goes into the concept of
<i><b>justifiable lethal force </b> </i>
rather in-depth.

OBTW - <b>WELCOME! </b> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
