I don't know what you're talking about, but knives are for cutting STUFF- packages, rope, your dog's leash when she runs around a tree 8x and the leash is irrevocably stuck and you don't want to spend all day untangling her, Gordian Knots, etc. They're tools.

I recommend this one:
This somehow seems stranger than carrying a gun everywhere. Do you actually struggle to untie things or open packages? I'm a tradesman who's always doing outdoor activities and I can't think of one scenario where I thought "I should really carry a knife on me at all times". I actually just got my first decent knife (just a guess) about a month ago from my step dad who's American and a life time military guy. Guns and knives have there place but I can't imagine having one on me at all times.

What do you want me to say? I work a white collar job and use it all the time. I cited some examples, ultimately you just try carrying it and see if you use it.

Just carry a gun and shoot the package open or the leash off the dog. Birdman is right, there is no reason to carry a knife. They are horrible weapons when a gun fight breaks out.

Your history of phenomenal ass postings has bought you a pass on the subject.

I'd take my chances with the first one.

I used to but it became a bit uncomfortable so o stopped carrying it on my person. I've never been in a situation where I needed it, but then again it is quite limited in terms of how many murders it can commit when compared to a firearm.

I'm not saying everyone should have the same perspective as I do regarding guns.

I just think the world would be a better place if everyone did.

Knives don't run out of ammunition or jam during operation. There is literally no limit to the amount of people that you could kill with one.

My buddy, who hunts and is always bragging about how good a shot he is, let me shoot his shotgun.

3" slug, iron sights. 40 yards. Standing position.

We made this awesome target and he went first with a decent shot in the upper left quadrant. I put one right on the guys nose.

I've always been a pretty good shot so I wasn't that surprised, but it always feels good when you one-up someone when you are using their gun.

nah people usually give up their guns anytime the government says so irl people don't have that courage hurricane katrina proved this with illegal confiscation and the american people barely gave a shit. only thing guns are truely good for is home defense but that milita fighing the u.s government stuff doesn't work because people will not shoot back at feds or soldiers they turn bitch.

I think people who say they have guns for self defense are pretty delusional or nihilistic unless they're women in which case they should absolutely be armed.

But guns are a lot of fun. They make loud noises and blow stuff up and I like firing them for recreation. Skeet shooting is one of the most fun things I've ever done in my life. Handguns require a bit more practice and are a bit less satisfying. If I could fire a massive rifle, I'd love it. Give it a shot @Itchy Red Hemorrhoid
I don't get this at all.
Of course I have a gun for self-defense. We hear gunshots every night.
We have drills for when some idiot kicks the door in and tries to beat us to the trigger.
Maybe they just don't try that in metro areas, but they sure the hell do in cities.
When you're outside the city, there's these things called animals that can kill you, so you bring an effective enough weapon to keep your family/self safe, along with knife/ves and bear spray.
Then there's that thing in America the founders put in the bill of rights listed as the #2 most important thing, which they considered after thousands of years of governments.

Personally I find no pleasure in shooting, because nothing is "allowed" that's fun enough for me.
Unless I can walk off my deck and pop off a magazine at will, I have to actually drive somewhere to do it.
When I shoot my guns all is see is setting money on fire.
But if you let me fire a 20mm cannon or a mini-gun, hell yes I'll bust a nut.

Fireworks are fun; way way way way funner than pulling a trigger and a piece of lead coming out.
