People SHOULD be scared and prepared for self-defense with all the potential Hamas / Hezbollah / ISIS / Mexican Mafia members crosding our wide open southern border!

You take them.as you find them. A person with cervical spine issue or osteoporosis is at risk of death of punched in the head or face and may defend themselves accordingly. The fact that the attacker is aware of the condition of the their victim is not a legal defense.
While the age is not a factor as anyone may be so vulnerable, the elderly are assumed to be physically vulnerable and unable to defend themselves against a non elderly attacked regardless of their actual physical condition. This is the basis of laws that protect the elderly as a special class from physical abuse and punish assailants harshly. Thus, a little old lady may use whatever means at her disposal to stop an imminent physical attack upon their person.
I couldn’t guess how elder laws apply to two grumpy old men engaged in mutual combat, whacking each other with their canes.
‘Take then as you find them’ also applies to civil law. For example, a individual in a car with an existing injury may be reinjured or injured further in a minor fender bender where a physically sound person would not. Full liability would apply to the injuries sustained.

Floridian’s are glad you don’t live in their state too. 🙂

Sarge has sanity issues, not anger issues.

“Fizzco”.

Bro Florida’s knife laws are weird. I can open carry my Ka-Bar USMC all day(and I do), but if I conceal my Guardian Tactical oft, straight to jail

This makes no sense!

Sarge definitely has anger issues it seems.

It took the North four years to defeat the South,a primarily agricultural region with very little industrial capacity and no history of armaments production.
The North out produced the South due to industrial strength and the location of the major weapons suppliers.
Your blind liberalism is showing and I doubt you’ve ever spent any time here.
We have good and bad just like everywhere else.

Handguns and knives are in my opinion simply tools that enable you to escape a dangerous situation.
If an assailant gets within knife range then a tactical mistake has been made.
Situational awareness is your best protection in addition to quickly deciding on an escape route to move toward a more defensible position if possible.
