Glad to hear it turned out ok for you and your wife. I would definately watch my six for a while though, as now the criminals know where you live and may want some revenge.
As the old saying goes, never bring a knife to a gun fight.

WTF? Should have gone Seagal on em' and twisted up his knife carrying arm into a pretzel so fast that his buddies don't have time to react or flee so you get to "tie" them up as well.

All joking aside. Good job. No need to kill if you don't have to.
wow, glad you are okay, shoot fire I've been holding off on getting my CCW due to funds, now I think its moved up the line of priorities...
At 10 yards a knife isn't really a live or die scenario. Now if the man started closing, my gun would be out in an instant.
while this has already been addressed. my $0.02 in one of john farnam's classes i watched him (6'ish approx 250+lbs) close a 35' distance with a rubber knife (all demo stuff) on a shooter with holstered (training blue glock) gun. before the gun was cleared for a shot farnam had already sliced & diced his gun arm. thats a heavy lumbering guy in daylight moving that fast. i have a trashed out (1/4' shorter) leg and my only running is to the bathroom:) i can close a 20-30' gap before you could draw, and (depending on training) have a shot. it happens that quick if not quicker.
as for the OP, man o man, no armchair QB'ing here. you did what you felt needed to be done when it came time. +1gazillion for the wife switching ammo. my spouse as i'm relating this, to her asked, whats' in my shottie? 00's baby 00's
just reading this whole thread and my adrenelin is going.

Once these papers are signed, where do they go? There's no government office that would take these.
A lot of the rumor is the judge will be harder on you if you have a black belt when you knock someone upside their head. But that's the same argument used when saying "The defendant has a CCW and used hollowpoints against my client, so he was out to kill someone when he fought back against the knife attack. Give my client one million dollars for pain and sufferin'!"

Sorry to get off track...
So, Fox, what you are saying is he who takes the first action wins. The knife wielder charges, and you then draw, you lose. You clear the draw and then he charges, the knife wielder loses. (Tueller study scenario applies to the above.)
Huh, makes you wonder why cops draw their guns so much.[Coffee]
