I didn't shoot to kill, I shot to save his life," Summers said. "I got him up off me."
Any idea if he was carrying openly or just concealing poorly?
It's tough to say for certain given the quality of the video and the tv channel banner covering part of it but I think he's either pocket carry or OC at about the 2 o'clock position. At first I thought he was reaching in his pocket, but at 1:48 you see what appears to be a retention strap above his belt after he starts to spin on the attacker. I don't see any moving of the hem of his shirt before the draw, but that could still be pocket carry or OC. Whatever that strap is, it's connected to him as it doesn't appear until he draws and then it moves with him, so it's not in the background.
I can't imagine what they would think if they were to see you with a knifeDatum: when I have open carried away from the range at big matches in southern Indiana, the people who consistently freaked out about seeing my gun were all from Michigan. Based on that, I assume that open carry is atypical in our neighbor state.

I don't think open carry is very common in Michigan.

He also stated he had never fired a gun before.

It could have been he misspoke. He may have meant to say he meant to save his (own) life.
