I was talking to a buddy at work about a buddy of mine getting into an altercation at an apartment complex, and bad guy tried to stab him in the parking lot, but was rejected and disarmed. My buddy grabbed the knife hand of the bad guy and held it out of the way, elbowed the man in the face, and flipped him over the shoulder, still holding the knife hand in his left hand, and stepped on the guys neck applying little pressure and asked if the manwas done. The man gave up and my buddy took the knife and threw it down into the sewer grate. The man did apologize for his actions.
Me and the buddy at work were talking about it and I said something along the lines of "Welll my buddy had a knife on him too, he could have totally ended the threat by running his in from the arm pit up the arm..." And my buddy from work said "Nope, not at all."
He told me that there was no self-defense law in Iowa, and a fellow co-worker is an ex-convict released last year, and was cell mates with a guy who was in for using self defense.
Now, what I don't understand is, what's the point of opening up concealed carry for the general population of Iowa making it an "I Shall" state if we have bogus self defense laws?
Can anybody clarify this for me?
Thanks,
