>>247413That video only shows how a gun can help you defend against a guy running at you with knife from a distance, hoping that you trained for it.
That won't happen with a really trained knife fighter who will turn the situation upside down and cut your achilles tendons and balls from beneath, something once demonstrated to me and that was so fucking fast and unexpected I couldn't have done anything. That won't happen with a really trained knife fighter who will walk slowly to you not making any noise. That won't happen with someone throwing his knife. That won't happen because you don't often see people run after you with a knife on the middle of a hiking trail.
You still don't need a gun, you're being overly paranoid, or then you might aswell avoid hiking under air traffic lanes in fear that a plane crashes on your head.
