    Friend's Home Invaded - Got Kids... but No Plan

    I definitely don't agree with that, and I'm sure neither do the principles of this forum. Apologies if I'm wrong, just saying I don't want to get this thread closed due to errant information. Bear in mind that this happened to a friend's family. Hardware-wise, I'm sure they will be beefing...

    Modern Scenarios When a Sword Would Be Preferable to a Firearm

    I don't understand this thread. On another thread, there was a discussion about how lethal knives were under 20 feet, even against an opponent armed with a gun. Elsewhere, I was reading about how dangerous a baseball bat could be...even against someone with a gun. So why is a sword not...
