    Escalating from a knife fight to a gun fight, especially with bystanders around, doesn’t make it better.

      A knife in close quarters is insanely dangerous. Using guns against an attacker with a knife is not really an escalation.

      That said, the situation should never have escalated to the point where there is someone attacking with a knife.

        Studies show that an attacker with a knife in hand has the advantage over someone with a holstered gun from as far as 21 feet away.
