Taking the wife's friend to the range

^ Absolutely. You should definately prepare for the worst and try your best to get into the mindset to do what you need to. Good shooting can be taught. Whether or not you can pull the trigger on another person is a different matter altogether. It's a mind thing. I hope the day never comes when I have to, but I hope I'm ready if it does come.

Get her to purchase a good pair of running shoes. IMO the most important thing to do when faced with an edged weapon attack is to increase the distance between you and the psycho. Many videos have been produced (Surviving Edged Weapons featuring Dan Inosanto is a good one) that show if the attacker is inside of 21 feet, then he/she can be on top of you and cutting you up before you can draw and shoot. When he/she has a knife and you have a gun, distance is your friend.

Great advice!

If the friend doesn`t have the stomach to pull the trigger on a perp,it`s a waste of time. Either you`ve got it or you don`t. Maybe Mace would be a better form of protection.
