I have one of those too...Forget a knife. If it came to that and I didn't have a firearm I'd want a razor sharp gladius at the very least. You don't want a fair fight. Esp. with knives.
In our krav maga club we spar quite a bit with weapons and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that a knife is a far more dangerous item in extreme close quarters than a gun. If you don't believe it, try it out yourselves: take a paintball gun and a magic marker, give both to your partner and have him attack you first with the paintball gun (at close range) and then with the magic marker (again at hugging distance). I'll bet you get more "hits" from the magic marker than "splats" from the paintball gun.
This seems to assume that a hit from a knife is equally effective to a hit from a gun. I don't want to get stabbed or shot...but I know which one ends fights faster.
The son-of-a-b**** is not gonna get close enough to me to use a knife. I'll done have his brains blown out a little while before he get's that close. Guaranteed....
I have an ancient aluminum teeball bat

(and knives aren't that expensive either)...
Yeah it's a pretty nasty little weapon. I like it better than a full size bat because of its maneuverability in confined spaces. I've got a sawwed off mossberg 500 with a foward pistol grip that would really ventilate a perp, but unfortunately I didn't read the fine print on my 12 month apartment lease up at school so now I have to keep them stored "off site". I've been thinking about bringing it anyways.Would have found that kind of funny until I saw a big halibut beat to death with one. Definitely not eager to get in the path of a teeball bat after that.
good sensor lighting, dogs, alarms,etc......
