We’ve all
heard the expression. I’m sure we’ve all heard the line uttered in numerous
movies, particularly in the Untouchables uttered by Sean Connery.
“Never bring
a knife to a gunfight.”
In modern
conversation, the phrase is intended to emphasize not entering a conflict,
verbal or otherwise, without the proper knowledge, weapon, etc. Never go
against an opponent who totally outclasses you, etc.
But, in
terms of actual fighting, if your opponent has brought a knife to a gunfight,
are you secure in your ability win because you have a gun?
The answer is
not just no but HELL NO. Enter the Tueller Drill.
How fast can
you really draw your defensive sidearm? Less than a second and a half?
So no, if
that knife user can get the jump and can close quickly, he can very well cut
you to pieces before you even clear leather.
