View Full Version : Utility of a knife in a Columbine or German
school scenario  April 27, 2002, 11:52 AM Just a little
speculation here. In the scenario where you have a gunman trying
to kill multiple people in a school, store, or similar public
place, I would be willing to bet that one motivated individual
with a fighting folder could end the fight. A gun would be
better. But, many of us can't or don't carry a gun. I carry a
folder everywhere. In a Columbine or similar target rich
environment, the killer will need to focus on so many different
targets that the key would be to lay in wait and ambush him as
he turned a corner. Or, to rush him from behind. I would attempt
to control his gun with one hand and cut him to ribbons with my
folder. It wouldn't be the perfect scenario. However, I think
you would have a chance due to the fact that there are so many
targets. He can't focus on all of them at once.  Take advantage
of the confusion. Ambush at close range or rush when he is
distracted on another target. Go
