Join the army or something if you think the skill to take someones life away is something to brag about.
Hopefully i can get a job at CVS or hobby lobby when they start hiring(this town is always building new shit)
Don't get a job at Hobby Lobby unless you enjoy being chronically screwed over. I am telling you this from personal experience. I worked there for four months and they offered me $6.50 an hour ( $6.20 was minimum wage at the time. ), and a job in the art department to start, but then they gave me $6.20 an hour and a warehouse job instead. The cheap art supplies weren't even worth it because of the low quality and most of them being out of date. They might be a Christian company, but they're all bad business ethics. As an example, I once found so year-old acrylic white paints in 3-packs on clearance for $3.99 because some of them might have been bad. As soon as I bought two of the 3-packs, I found the assistant manager cutting them apart and re-pricing each tube at the normal $7.99 price the next day.
And I can also attest to the fact that a lot of people can be faster with a knife than a gun. My experience so far is that if a dude is crazy enough to charge someone who is armed with a handgun, using a knife, they are likely incredibly ballsy or on something which pretty much makes them a lot stronger and faster than normal. If I remember from Kendo and Rapier classes properly, a guy with a knife within 15 feet is a grave threat and 10 feet means they are within a lethal range and can be dealt with by whatever means necessary. It's 15 feet constitutes lethal range for a longer bladed weapon, I think. Of course, that's just what I seem to remember and I know it's not that cut and dried obviously.
