Police Weapon Retention

Weapon Retention demo video, the knife defense at 1:56 I would no longer use.
See my March 2010 article in Police Magazine to find out more about knife defense:

OK, I understand what you are trying to do and that's ok. But don't not teach police officers to disarm a person running at them with a knife. ( as what you are doing @ the 2min mark) you are ging to get them killed.

@Gundyisme You are correct. I've made a note about that on the video.

In Australia you get shot for running at an officer with a knife.

@TheFirearmEnthusiast

They get shot in the U.S. also but they still keep coming.

Better have more than just your gun.

90% of sociology is such a load of crap. You are responsible for your own actions, the end. If those actions endanger me or those around me do I not have the right to defend myself and others?

@hikuta12

I have good shot placement as well =)

At close range, if he goes for your gun, you might be able to shoot him once or twice, but that won't make him die right away, even if one of the bullets goes through his heart.

Relying solely upon a gun is gambling with your life.
