    Thanks to my lack of personal hygiene I could knock them dead at 10 paces with my halitosis!

    There's a better chance of disarming an assailant wielding a knife than a gun and at the very least you can try to get out of range. A knife is less lethal than a gun too.

    I have a three inch scar on my hand from a knife wound,my assailant damn near cut my thumb off,I remember thinking ''Shouldn't this hurt more?'' The real pain came afterwards in the hospital when the shock wore off. But I'd still take my chances with the blade over the gun.

    There's just something about the brutality of a knife that I prefer. Especially one with a jagged edge.

    Depends on the distance. I've been taught how to deflect both, but obviously only if they are within arm's reach. Given that circumstance, I would feel more confident in my abilities if they had a gun.

    A knife. At least the scumbag has got to have the nards to get within arm's reach of you then.

    Knife, gun, it's a tool box, you take what you need to do the job.
