Man Up and Put Up Your Dukes!

Capt James TPost Master

This is how Bloombergs group would have you deal with someone attacking you with an axe handle -

Matthews: Would you consider the guy with the ax handle armed or not?

Glaze: Well, not with a gun.

Matthews: No, would you call him -- well, I call him armed.

Glaze: Well, I have a word for him, I have a word for him. I grew up in Colorado where my dad was a gun dealer, and a guy who shoots somebody who has anything other than a gun when they could have done something else like talk or fight with their fists --

Matthews: Well, how do you talk to a guy with an ax handle? How do you talk to a guy with an ax handle?

Glaze: Well, you fight him. You run away. You deescalate the situation. I mean, that`s the way it was.

Bad advice from a dummy. I guess the only job he could get is with MAIG.

I guess it would depend on the situation if you had a clear way to evade the attacker and no one else involved then retreat. If no way to escape or other family members in danger eliminate the threat.

Sounds to me that Glaze believes no one should ever protect themselves against anyone who doesn't have a gun themselves.
