What's the Tueller drill distance for knife vs chainsaw? I guess it depends on gas engine or electric.

For my chainsaw, you can get as close as you want.  Usually takes me about 10 minutes to get it running.

Well, if they are 10 minutes away, you are good to go.

Even a non running chainsaw would be a fairly formidable weapon in a hand to hand situation.

You must be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I just have a mid-size Stihl, and I would get tired pretty quick if I had to swing it around like a Katana.

Grips. Brooms have handles, guns chainsaws have grips*


*Said to me by the salesman my first time looking at guns in the local sporting goods store when I was a kid. I remember the "talking down" to me tone to this day. Especially every time I grab the handle of one of my guns.
