For clarification, the purpose of my post was not so much to dissuade you of the use of a fixed blade, but rather to make the point that all self-defense equipment decisions should be made with all points of view considered, including those that we find distasteful (such as those of the weapon-banning elite of this country). People who carry often spend tremendous amounts of time thinking about the tactical uses of the equipment, and not so much about the long-range ramifications of lethal use.
While it's less of a concern in certain areas of the country, I can tell you for certain I would never wish to face a jury of the couch-bound bon-bon eaters and earnest young Womens' Studies majors that inhabit the coasts of this country, even with the law solidly on my side.
Just food for thought.
