It's not my facility with throwing knives and the rapier that will intimidate the intruder. It's my blatant and unashamed nudity, and the sheer experience thereof that is both fascinating and terrifying. Like the flaring hood of a cobra, I will hypnotize and thus strike before they can react.
It's really better than guns because it's so unexpected, and yet it almost never goes off accidentally.
I feel really sorry for you gun guys. You miss out on the rush.
Police say Jacob Wessel, 30, of Greenwood, was arrested after forcing his way through the house's backdoor. Wessel, standing at 5-foot-10, was later charged with residential entry, a Level 6 felony.
She should be more careful. He could have been a nuclear Wessel.
IlGreven:But...but I was told only guns could stop guns!
Maybe RTFA. No where does it say the intruder had a gun or any weapon. If he did have a gun she might be dead right now. Because a sword isn't a good match for a gun. In fact it says she went for her gun first but opened the wrong drawer. That could've been a fatal mistake.
Oddly enough I keep a 16th century bronze Chinese generals sword sticking partly out of the mattress and I have no recollection of having done so. So safe.
baronbloodbath:I like to imagine the headline if someone breaks into my home while I'm sleeping:
Hatchet wielding man detains burglar in stuffed animal filled apartment
/there's only 13 on display though
My bedroom used to have three sections: My SCA gear (lots of sharp metal things, and even the spoon would hurt), my books, and anime crap. the 4th corner was the door. Would been a crazy time if someone broke in because depending on where I was, they would get pelted with either medieval weapons, large books, or spiky haired anime figurines.
Kamehame-HA! Robber Stopped by Z-Warriors or something might've been the headline.
SCA people know how to take a beating, that's for sure. After you've been hit in the head enough, it ain't no thang. One of my college SCA friends ended a fight by having a pool cue broken over his head and saying "That was light. Would you like to try again?"
But that said SCA is a land of nerf and safety compared to what the Battle of Nations people get up to. They do authentic steel on steel submission combat. It's like a mixture of kickboxing and Talhoffer. I like to fight with those guys.

He didn't have a gun. He would have shot her if he did and she pulled that crap.

What are you babbling about? The only gun mentioned belonged to the victim.

After clicking on her photo, I can understand why hearing a man's voice in her house might be unexpected.

You can only wield those for another couple of months if you're in the northern hemisphere.

No. The best is the dogs that shoot bees from their mouths when they bark
