From: Albert Saperstein Area: Base of Set To: All 9 Aug 93 23:27:40 Subject: guns Sent UpdReq Mr. Curwen is quite right when he states that six shots ought to handle most personal defense situations; however, I must take issue with his "forehead slash" knife defense suggestion, and I must EMPHATICALLY take issue with the suggestion that pepper spray or CS constitute anything remotely resembling defense. I carry a three and a half inch push dagger. Sucker-punching my would- be assailant in the aorta with this instrument gives him six seconds of consciousness, and I don't have to break a sweat leaving the scene. Pepper gas, mace, CS, whatever, constitute more of a provocation than a defense, particularly when dealing with drug cases. If you're nervous about killing in your own defense, try a stun-gun. Does anyone here know anything about a grimoire in manuscript form which purports to facilitate communication with the SLUAGH? 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
