Will Knives Hurt You?

Well, yes. This is why people can shoot a knife wielder in self defense. The distance at which you must engage a guy/gal with a knife is about 21 feet. However, you might think a bit further is better after you look at these photos. How long does it take for somebody to cut you like this? Just a couple of seconds. How does your body react? You go into shock and if you don't go into shock you might be physically unable to defend yourself even with a gun. In other words you might be unable to even pull the trigger much less aim the gun.

These photos come from Blog Idaho. Also shown there are these photos: Additional Photo 1, Additional Photo 2 and Additional Photo 3. If these photos don't convince you that you need to stop anybody who comes after you with a knife, I don't know what will.
