HB2386 New P4P: Concealed Weapons Permit

[peter nap]

Cold Steel has a different history on their web page: http://www.coldsteel.com/sanmaigurkha.html

I would just be happy if I could throw my Dad's WWII Kbar in my coat.

Spell checker doesn't like G u r k h a . It doesn't ask before changing.

The history I referred to was taken from actual interviews with the men in the unit. They were taught three cuts. Head, gut, leg. They were just tough little fellows that used what they used all the time.

Cold Steel makes some good knives but do tend to color history a little.

But, if I had to carry a knife/sword, it would probably be a Kukri. They share the same cutting abilities as the leaf shaped blades less the secod edge, stab reasonably well and are a primary tool as well.

If I remember, I will bring my karambit folder tomorrow morning.

Interesting video - it employs much of the training exercises of Kali.

First rule of a knife fight = bring a gun.
Second rule = If you ignore rule #1, you are going to bleed.

A couple of small sticks in a vehicle looks so innocent - never been accused of brandishing them either.

Yes but as long as you have blood pumping through your body the knife will never run out of ammo!

The trick is to keep as much of your blood, pumping through your body. Leaks lead to defeat!

The other truth of knife fights is, "Nobody wins in a knife fight! (the lucky ones just survive)"

The leaf shaped blades like the Gladius have always been the top combat blades. Cutting, the edge is always at an angle and they are great stabbing blades also as opposed to the Japanese swords that are great slashers but suck at thrusting.....

The Gurkas that made them famous never really had any training with them as a weapon, it was what they used in day to day life to work the fields.

I am more fond of the keris or kris.

The best reason is because it's all you have and that happens sometimes.
When I was teaching SD classes, permits were almost impossible to get in many places and most of my students wouldn't OC or carry illegally.

Pepper spray wasn't really available then and I don't think they had invented the Taser. If they had, they were still the gunpowder powered AOW.
Mace was out but it didn't work well and I considered it something to distract the BG while you finished the fight.

A knife was the logical weapon but Ken hadn't invented assisted openers so I had to be creative. I settled on a midsize lockback, carried open in a sheath.

Things were more complicated in those days.

Sounds like those were the days before you had three television stations to choose from. I can't imagine my grandparents/parents generation seeing the car, airplanes, rockets (space travel), computers, radio, television, internet, atom bombs, all created within their generation. Talk about future shock!

As far as my pseudo-bowie knife, I figure that I have some jackets designed for CC and have large internal pockets. I wouldn't mind simply securing my sheath in the pocket and having it with me. Currently with the law being a CHP I can only OC it which is uncomfortable and why I usually keep to folding knives that fit in my pocket.

Uh.....with the exception of the car and airplane, I saw all those things in my lifetime:uhoh:

We did get electricity when I was 3 and got a TV when I was 7. Got one station.

Remember the distinction between CS gas (LEO only) and CN gas which you couldn't buy in high enough concentration to be effective.

Some people it only made mad - frothing mad, until they got hold of that dumb sonavavich that pushed that button - oh, sorry Capt, shouldn't you at least let a nurse look at that. :uhoh: BTW - don't ever do that again when I am cuffing a man.

PS - Capt's nose was NOT broken.

Not to be confused with Tonto.

Does anyone like the Belgian, as in a FN P90?

Jack O'Neill likes it.

Besides, FNH USA, is located in Virginia.

I like the look of it but not enough to buy it. http://www.fnhusa.com/le/products/firearms/family.asp?fid=FNF012&gid=FNG007

I guess I would rather have a more common chambering like the FS2000. http://www.fnhusa.com/le/products/firearms/model.asp?fid=FNF011&gid=FNG006&mid=FNM0156

I definitely like FNH and wouldn't mind getting a scar17 (.308). http://www.fnhusa.com/le/products/firearms/model.asp?fid=FNF045&gid=FNG007&mid=FNM0113

I have their pistol FNP-45 and like it.

So if the CHP gets changed to a CWP, does that mean we can conceal a KRISS or P90?

I like the SCAR-17 family. Interesting that you chose the 'select-fire' tab rather than the Semi-auto tab for the commoners.

But those chambered for the .308 Win. cartridge are very nice -- and expensive. Perhaps a tax credit for Homeland Defense purposes?

What I want is the firearms acts of 1934 and 1968 repealed as unconstitutional infringement on our 2A rights! Then my tab would be the one I want.

I saw a couple Scar17s at the gunshow today. $2989 plus tax!!! Online you can find them for $2800 but that is still double what I would want to pay for them. My DPMS AP4 was only $1100.

I would elect you to office with the way you think. A tax credit for anyone that buys a fully auto rifle and is willing to defend this country with it!

Tonto was not so tonta tonto as to carry a tan tanto to Tanta......:lol:

More than likely he would have selected a Gebel-Arak flint blade or a more formal, decorative kriss.

It's only a matter of time that the 1968 GCA is challenged, particularly the "sporting purposes" part, since we have two SCOTUS opinions that state the 2A protects an individual's right to keep a firearm for self defense, separate from hunting.
