I was recently invited to a class by a group that wants to rent space from me for their training facility.

I heard this from a few people attending.
You're not alone.

They thought they might be going to a knife fight, and they had at a machete, but in case it escalated they also brought the gun. The airsoft was just in case it was in that weird grey area between a knife and a gun fight;

They didn't count on the fact that they were gonna be outmatched by the homeowner

No, the other gun.

Why are you so for the folks that illegally invaded a person's home with an illegal weapon and so against the person that legally defended themselves with an apparently legal gun? It/you make so little sense.

Even a kid (in this case a 16-year-old), can kill you with a machete or a semiauto. Of course, the airsoft probably was like most (designed to look like the real thing).

Yep...just some innocent children playing "Purge" when some evil homeowner spoiled their fun by refusing to play along.

A tragic ending.
But it's the teens who decided there would be violence.
The homeowner was put in a very unfortunate position, and acted properly.

Is walking around with a machete becoming more popular these days? I think there were three separate attacks in Vancouver recently where machete was weapon of choice, is this from video game training?

Move to Florida.
Do just the same, but don’t have to worry about any fallout.

Simples…

Police need to take looters into custody... (for their own protection).

Airsoft, machete, pen knife. Doesn't matter. Unfortunate situation, proper outcome.

If you're fast enough, a machete can be used to block bullets.

I use a Swiss Army knife for rounds up to 9mm... a machete for .357 & larger.

I hear a buck 110 will also work in place of the SAK.

Distraction. Spill your soda and say, “didn’t we go to high school together?”

They probably just needed to be listened to, and then a hug.

What the local maori kids say to a gang coming the other way when they don't really want to get beaten up.

Gang A "Where is yous from?"

Gang B "Where is yous from?"

Gang A "We is from Tokaroa."

Gang B "Do you know John."

Gang A "John. John who drives a ford?"

Gang B "Yeah, that's him, he's my cousin."

Gang A "Hey, he's my cousin too. That mean we is cousins, hahahaha."

Bloodbath averted I guess.
