If you think accidents never happen with good intent, again, you are fooling yourself.
If someone had a gun pointed at me and wanted my wallet, I would simply give it to them and not try to make a bad situation worse. The petty cash in my wallet is of little value to me. I have plenty more in the bank.
For some reason you think you know what I would do in every situation. You don't.

You seem to think that people instantly die when stabbed. This is not the walking dead.
How many people have you stabbed in the back anyway?
WAY TO MISS THE POINT
Knife or gun, your bullshit attitude of thinking a utopia outcome will always occur if you just stand up to them. THAT is the fucking problem.
So you have a gun and they have a knife? They stab you, hit a vital blood vessel, sure you might not die suddenly, but again your statement sounds like you assume you are Ninja and the pain of the stab wont effect your response. No you might not die suddenly, but you are stupidly assuming if they stab you it will always be superficial.
So you'd rather die by stabbing, because you have a gun just so you can fire back? Sounds stupid to me.
Even if you're confronted by someone with a knife you are STILL stupidly concocting in your head a Hollywood outcome.
Ok fine, AGAIN, WHAT IF it is NOT a knife, and it is a GUN sticking in your back, or aimed at your head? What then?
You still keep missing the point, that TRAINING is far more important. What matters is that you survive, not the weapon you use. If it requires losing your property or having your ego bruised, or fleeing, you still survived. TRAINING matters far more than the weapon you are up against, or the weapon you use.
If you cannot accept that, then you really have no business having a firearm. Those who accept the fact that guns are not forgiving, and accept their brain matters more, are the ones to trust. The ones who talk shit, are far more likely to do stupid shit.
