I think Miss Manners would have approved, at least if you're talking about wearing the knife openly (unlike the wedding David mentioned), though it may depend on the religion or lack thereof and on the social circles. > As far as gunfights (in the spaghetti western style) there are two > schools > of thought that I have heard; take your time and get a good, well aimed > shot > off, or fire of a quick round in the general direction to rattle your > opponent, then fire an aimed shot while he (or she) is checking for new > holes. Discuss. Okay. Stay out of gunfights. In particular, stay out of movie-style gunfights. You can get hurt. (I am not talking about either military or police work, if one of those is your calling.
