I don't suggest bringing a knife to a gun fight. Now that is part joke and mostly accurate. Guns are for self defense and knives in the eye of the law are offensive in nature. That is why if you are going to prepare for situation like defending your life have the right tool for the job. Besides being a more legal defense tool, it is also easier to be proficient with. Knife fighting takes great skill and anyone that has come out the other end of our rehabilitation system can disarm a knife easier than you can use it to hurt them. I would not fear the homeless. I fear the drug addict crashing from a binge that is desperate to score and sees a business that is open late and thinks there might be some cash on hand. There was some talk about a ccw class. I have a friend that is a NRA instructor. We are both passionate about arming law abiding citizens and being capable of defending life and liberty. Please let me know if this is still an interest and I will make it happen.
That said, if you have to fight, fight with whatever you can. Better yet as previously mentioned be aware. If someone you don't know or you don't like the looks of comes in, make a phone call to a friend and be on the phone. Put yourself on the other side of a table or something else to put space between you and that other person. Keep the door locked at night and get visual confirmation before you let them in. Please be safe and let me know if you are interested in packing a piece. Peace.
