Triangle Tactical Podcast and Blog on Guns, Gear, and Competition Shooting
I’ve recently spent some time in a local bookstore browsing a bunch of gun magazines. I’ve got to say that most of the magazines were just a boring read, but I always know it will be a good time when I find the section of the magazine with the self defense tips.
The scenario in one particular magazine was that you are cooking dinner, and are attacked by a knife weilding attacker in your home. They suggested that you grab the knife with your kitchen tongs, and then fight off the attacker after his weapon is now controlled by your tongs.
Yes, grab the knife with the kitchen tongs.
You know, instead of shooting the attacker with the concealed handgun that you should be carrying, or using just about anything in your kitchen that is a better weapon than what they suggested, they want you to use tongs.
Who writes this stuff?
Really?! Tongs to defend against A knife?
What publication was that? and who was the author?
Honestly, I had 5-6 different magazines out at the same time, I don’t remember which one it was in. Really surprised me though…
