There is a disciplined code around the use of a Kukri. It's more like a Samrai Sword than a Swiss Army Knife in that manner.

It was not designed to be used as a machete. It is meant to kill people, just as a hand gun is.
Let's see how many more chapters you can stretch out this bizarre justification for carrying hand guns.

We already had this discussion.


I have seven handguns. Three were designed for combat/self defense.


The other four are .22 Long Rifle.


Are you seriously trying to argue that .22 Long Rifle target pistols were invented for killing people?


To say nothing of the plethora of handguns intended for hunting or animal defense.


Do you really thingk the .50 AE, the .454 Casul, the .44 Magnum or the numerous bolt action or single shot handguns were designed for killing people?


BTW, the fact that my 9mms and .357 Magnum were designed for self-defense is exactly the reason I have a right to keep them.


Only a drooling moron would think it acceptable to send men with guns to take guns away from good citizens because guns are bad.


Idiotic.

I was waiting for one of you more senior morons to come on here and tell us that "You always carry a Kukri when you go into the mountains in case you're attacked by Yeti".

I'm still waiting for one of your fellow travellers to shoot a Brown Bear with his Browning 9 mm and make it to a "Darwin " award.

You would use a handgun for hunting for the same reason you would use a bow and arrow or a muzzle loader.......

They are designed to kill people at short range. You need to be close. You need to be very close to a bear and knowledgeable enough about their anatomy to get a clean kill using one VERY rapidly aimed shot through it's armour-thick skull (not at all like our delicate egg shells).

If I were back in the Armed Forces, one might prove to be a useful tool if everything goes very badly.

Other than that, one should satisfy one's self with becoming a top notch bowler.

Despite Dirty Harry the handguns Colpy mentioned like the .454 Casul or even the .44 magnum were not designed for self defense against humans for multiple reasons such as weight and difficulty in concealment, but are very good for hunting or protection in the bush.
I carried a 44 Magnum while prospecting in my region because the only animal I needed protection against...were black bears.
If I had prospected in grizzly country my firearm of choice would have been the .454 Casul.
Now that I don't do any more prospecting I don't have a .44 magnum anymore.

Good thing you never had to shoot a bear with one. If you didn't kill it outright, you would be headed for the afterlife a few seconds later.

I would think Nepal forces probably do carry one no? Yeti is a little over the top no?

They carry them to use as weapons on people. Our forces carry weapons go use on people, too. That does not give anymore you wannabees licence to carry the same weapons for whatever airy-fairy NRA justifications that you can put up that ignores the actual design criterion of the weapon.

If you're packing a pistol in public you are doing it with the possibility of shooting a person, 999 times out of 1000

I carry a knife for protection, and for a cutting tool is that bad?

Northern Ontario,
BTW At the time I only carried a .357
After that I carried the .44 and the hell with the extra weight!
Since I didn't need the concealment in the bush.

Did you learn how to hunt when you were a child, from your family?

Don't forget that a lot of the gun hobbyists on here seem to have learned all about firearms by watching TV.

A nice kukri? We had one of those in our living room, growing up.

I carry a knife all the time. It's a folding Victorinox without many other doodads on it but it's razor sharp.

Why?

For self protection? You gotta be kidding, buddy! It's a really useful tool kit. I keep it on a little lanyard, too. Old sailor's habits last a lifetime.

I used it on Friday to carve out the inside flanging on a cut aluminum extrusion so that I could measure it's wall thickness accurately with digital calipers.

A weapon?

Are you fecking nuts?

If you are legally carrying a handgun, it looks like it is for defense from wildlife.

We lived on a farm, my first firearm was a .22 cooey single shot.
I was 8 or 9 at the time.
After the usual instructions on safety and how to use it I would be given one single bullet and if I came back with a rabbit or a partridge I would get another one....If I missed I would have to skip a day.
