Knives take much more training to use properly, and they are useless against an attacker with a gun. DOJ reports that the average shooting occurs at a range of 7 yards. How can you use a knife at that range? Muggers do not just shove a gun in your ribs, criminals may be lazy, but they are cunning. Now if my attacker had a knife, I would still want a pistol. I gaurantee I can do more damage to him in a close fight with a pistol than he can do to me with a knife, and in less time to boot.
Again you run into the legal problem, how do you convince a jury that you are justified in stabbing someone?
