I would like to put in a good word for edged weapons .. the guy used a sword to put down a man armed with a firearm. I've got a handgun somewhere. I think it's locked in a steel case in my garage. Over my bed I've got a 100-year-old, razor-sharp sword I picked up in northern Thailand. I know how to use it.

When I lived in Philadelphia I had a similar setup, but with a well-sharpened Knights of Pythias sword. I found in the trash.

If things got rough, I'd probably get a dog as well.


As Iboos said, there may be more to the story.
