Craig has made me realize that I'd 100% rather die by gunshot than by knife wounds.

[@Deviated09]

it's a horrible way to go, getting carved up. I'm beside ya, would rather take a lead enema over being a carved turkey

[@gavinreid1649]

@Nikwoac perhaps you just lack imagination, think of the damage caused by a bullet hitting your pelvic bone. Its likely a lethal strike. With a shattered pelvic bone any movement just lacerates you internally and there is nothing that can be done for you.

[@Gottaculat]

This stuff is why my dad taught me how to avoid getting into a knife fight in the first place. Rule #1: Never go into a big city for any reason, ever. Rule #2: Be aware of your surroundings. Rule #3: Walk and move with confidence; bad guys avoid people who look like they have no fear. Rule #4: Don't antagonize people, especially insulting their mother. Rule #5: Don't ever try to move in on another man's woman. Rule #6: Never argue with a mad woman in the kitchen or anywhere with sharp objects readily available. Those are the main 6 rules to avoiding a knife fight according to my dad. I'm 36, have never been in a knife fight, and I don't plan to ever be in one. I still carry a knife and gun anyway. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[@brianlash154]

I can get behind the last two lines in your creed comment.

[@meee175]

I agree 100%. Also, my dad always said "in a knife fight someone's getting cut". Just depends who's more prepared and trained.

You better cease reverse cowgirl'ing papa's knee right now my brother. For 1: it is doing the right thing 2: we could get biblical like Cain and Able, I believe their quarrel spawned from the same thing. Don’t suggest we share brother. This isn’t mommy, we cannot both feed simultaneously brother. While yes, daddy has two knees, bouncing two of us requires far more energy than he can afford to spend. Get off at once brother. You sit upon my knee. And yet you remain, with a smirk no less like a cocky king upon his throne. Have it your way brother, just know that Heavy Lies the Crown. My kingdom for a horse.

Such great chemistry. It’s scary to think that these two charming dudes, joking around, having fun, are able to turn into complete demons if needed. As for Mr. Douglas, that dude legit scares me. He’s the dude who’s sitting in your house when you turn the lights on and you know your time has come. Great video, eager to pick up a new blade.

[@charliemike13]

He’s absolutely right about state laws. Look them up. As a former Police Officer, during our advanced academy, we spent a lot of time going over the law regarding dirks, daggers, etc. I was a police officer in a bigger city setting. It may be different in rural areas, but it’s best to know the laws. It was staggering to find out how many cops hadn’t read the Constitution or Declaration of Independence.

[@The_Ghost923]

Exactly. An example would be like Illinois where state law says you can own a double-edged dagger or even an OTF knife with the same blade as long as your intent is to not use it to harm others. However, in Chicago those blades are a no-no because...Chicago.

[@charliemike13]

@UCiBtEnrx0oE-6wuhTbK-iQg nice assumptions.

Duh. Why would they. They're no longer held to it.

[@Squat5000]

Then ignore them and do not comply, the second amendment is not limited to guns. Most cops in municipal settings around cities don't give one crap about the constitution or anything. The majority of sheriff's do however, and most of them don't care until you commit a crime with a weapon.

Great knife design. Love them. Now to add more to my collection... You both play off each other so well. Great to see friends like you to doing that!!! Thanks for the video. Greatly appreciated it!!!!

[@coachangeln]

Good stuff! So many people don’t understand the real issue of not being able to obtain a concealed carry license in certain states. They may even question why you are posting videos about carrying a knife when you should just carry a gun as a primary. There are a lot of us out here in States that do not recognize shall issue licenses. We have to be interviewed, and scrutinized to show reasonable cause under the law to be issued a CCW. That said thank you for expanding your content beyond the norm of CCW. PS: Must of those Gun Fu masters who fixate on their firearm as being their primary method of defense. Most cases when they’re in a clinch all they’re thinking about is getting to their gun. Meanwhile the other guy is busy doing damage, the person does not know how to manage the damage to give them the space, and opportunity to get their concealed firearm. Love you guys! God bless! 🙏
