I actually have been in a similar situation with a close family member (Not my Son)and I was CCW at the time, I was able to use his momentum to my advantage and disarm/restrain the threat. Because it was someone I recognized, I don't think the Firearm ever came to mind as an option, and I do not feel particularly threatened by a knife. However, If a stranger rushes out my front door, weilding a knife, I do not know his capabilities, could be a whacked out SEAL...He gets my gun...Bullets first!
