Gun Versus Knife. Gun saves life. [View All]

A couple funny stories I found in my late night internet boredom.

No way to know how this one would have ended. The sword weilding man might have just walked away after scaring the other guy....But it's very possible the man with the firearm saved his own life.


Spring Hill, Fla. Mar. 2002. An argument between two handicapped men over a hospital parking space escalated when one man whipped out a sword, prompting the other to pull out a gun.

Lee Damron, 48, was arrested for aggravated assault on March 13 for his bizarre and menacing behavior, authorities said. Eyewitnesses in the crowded parking lot of Oak Hill Hospital told police that at about 3 p.m., Damron pulled near a disabled parking space, which was partially blocked by another car. ....

...... Profanities were exchanged, followed by Damron stepping out of the car, holding onto a black cane with a golden snake head. Bystanders looked on with amazement as Damron then unsheathed a sword from the cane and proceeded to approach Cavalier....

...Cavalier immediately pulled out a 9mm handgun from the car and raised it slowly. Damron turned and ran through the hospital's sliding doors. Police were called, and Damron was arrested minutes later. Cavalier was not charged because he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, authorities said. (CourtTV.com).


In this one however, it's fairly obvious the female victim would have certainly been killed had she not used a firearm to defend herself. I sincerely doubt that he was going to stop stabbing her untill she made him...anyways, here's the story


When ne'er-do-well Joey Wayne Fuller, 21, armed himself with a sword and a flashlight and then broke into a Lebanon, Alabama, woman's home, he was unaware he was about to come face-to-face with the homeowner-and his Maker.
After Fuller repeatedly stabbed the resident, she fired two shots, striking him once in the stomach. Fuller and his accomplice, waiting in a car outside, continued the assault by attempting to run down the fleeing woman who let two more shots ring out. Police later found Fuller dead in the lookout's vehicle. (Sand Mountain Reporter, Albertville, AL, 9/21/99)


We just have to ban those terrible guns, that way criminals with swords wont have to fear for their safety, they're just trying to make a living you know, who can fault them for that?

Ah yes...more fun sword tidbits at
