There are a ton of people in jail for "self defense". It doesn't matter how right you "think" you are. If you kill someone, the majority of the time you are going to jail. I don't care what state you are in. If the guy was chasing you around your truck with a knife you should shoot him. If he actually cut you, you should shoot him. Anything short of that I think there is a very large chance you are WRONG and going to jail.

Are you willing to throw your life away for a sink?

I personally would not have given him the sink, don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of other options. My first option against someone with a utility knife would certainly be pepper spray. I always have some in my pocket and on my keychain. I don't care how big and tuff you are, a face full of pepper spray will make you a kitten.



Pepper spray is always my first line of defense. It is a less than lethal alternative. THE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE. Pepper spray is at the very bottom of the force scale, look up the laws in your area. You would be better off using pepper spray on someone than pushing them or striking them in some way.

If you don't have a gun, I most likely wouldn't pull mine out. Just my personal thoughts. I might pepper spray you and beat you with a baseball bat but I just have a problem using the lethal force of a gun when it's really questionable what a persons real intentions are.
You can pepper spray someone but after, you do you can't beat the $h!t out of them.
