Reader comment on item: How Would You React to a Terror Attack?

Sorry, kids, but a death from friendly fire in response to a stabbing attack is on the edge of unforgivable. A correctly/adequately trained soldier or policeman can handle a stabber alone. If they can't handle it, by definition, they are not correctly/adequately trained and they need to train harder, better, longer. The ability to defend oneself and prevail is not acquired by attending a course. It is acquired over years of training. The solution is combining martial arts with firearms combat training, daily, for years. I love watching moslems get aired out by Israelis, but total dependence on the gun is not good. One must also know how to move as if one didn't have a gun. In short, take a martial art that also teaches ancient weapons (bo, sai, jo, tonfa, nunchakau, bokken, etc.) along with combat firearms training. From watching thousands of videos of cop/soldier confrontations with perps and teaching martial arts for four decades, I've found that the vast, vast majority of cops and soldiers are woefully under-trained in hand-to-hand combat. I grew up with visions of the bodies of dead Jews from the Nazi camps. I'm tired of seeing dead Jews.
