I think this is completely wrong. Knife disarming doesn't really work. When they teach it at martial arts dojos they are either teaching the students goofy stuff that the students think are cool to keep them paying, or are teaching knife dueling. Someone trying to kill you with a knife is going to rush you as fast as they can as stab you when their up close. You can't disarm that. And what if he has two knives? Or a knife and a hammer? He's going to stack the odds in his favor as much as he can.

You have a much better chance with a gun fight. You know your house better than they do. You can hide somewhere in a cul de sac and shoot him as soon as he turns the corner. You'll hear him coming he won't know your their. Aiming isn't hard.

I think your more likely to survive a gun shot than getting stabbed with a knife as well.

Plus, a girl could always kick the guy in the nuts, too.
And then he'll stab her and she'll die
