What weapon do prefere

[Yang]

These are some weapons that I like and would like to know ur opinions. I prefer the knife.

[hashpuppet]

you forgot gun, the most effective weapon

[BB Wolf]

Dependes on the situation. If I feel I NEED a weapon, then chances are this is situation that may lead to lethal force. In that case I'll take a firearm. In a less than ideal situation(though, if you think about it, anytime you have to answer this question is an less than ideal situation), a knife or stick of some sort would have to suffice.

I like a staff. The only martial arts type weapon I've had any training with is nunchuku, and I didn't care for it too much. A lot of things just come naturally with a staff.

And my favorite ninja turtle used a staff.

[Half-Asleep]

depends i reckon' staff is prolly the most fun out of the options to use but in a life of death kinda situation prolly go for the knife or firearm if it was available

When you think about it gun is the best in any situation, because unless you enjoy killing people if someone comes at you with any weapon that can cause severe injury you can just point it at them and there's a 99 percent chance they'll run away. Imagine training with a gun for a few years like people train with knives and staffs. There's obviously nothing more accurate and fast as a gun, it's also small, has many bullets compared to keeping 10 throwing knives, it can be carried legally, and it can also be used to club someone. Oh and I'd probably carry 2 guns, one for each hand. I think the art behind a gun is basically dodging and firing, like diving and firing in midair that sort of thing. If you can find someone who can fight agains't a gun then they're demons because how many people can actually dodge bullets or block bullets with a cane or something.

Things do come natuarly with a staff. Young boys will always pick up sticks, i think that it is a natural instinct. The cave man who liked to carry a stick with him survived in situations where the unarmed caveman did not.

I thought I was the only one who liked Donatelo! All of my friends laugh at me, they used to like leonardo and michalangelo. But Donatelo used his brain, he could invent useful stuff for the other turtles to use.

a gun is a one dimensional weapon, and the danger is the little hole in the front, and what comes out of it. if you have the space to draw it,aimit ,and fire it then it's hard to beat. but when the attack just comes and is on you, the your f**ked.

[hashpuppet]

what are you talking about? What's the difference between how fast it takes to draw a gun and how fast it takes to draw any other weapon you can have on the street. If anything, it's probably easier to draw a gun.

My favoriate weapon is the nuncucks. Although I also use the staff and the knife.

I also like guns, I have many of them, but I do not carry them. I will eventually get my permit to carry, but even then I would only pull it if it was a life or death situation.

One thing you have to think about when carrying a firearm....the legal implications it can put on you .

You cannot, I REPEAT, CANNOT, just point a gun at someone because you feel a bit threatened. There are many laws on guns and to name a few:

Brandishing a weapon
Assult/Battery
Intent to cause bodily harm
Discharging a weapon within city limits
Murder

The list goes on and on and on. The only time a person should pull a gun is when they intend to use it and you have to kill or be killed.

If Billy bob comes up and pushes you and you pull your gun, he is not the one that is going to go to jail. You are. Brandishing a weapon will get you at least fined if not jail time. They can also revoke your carry permit.

If someone is coming at you with a knife and you pull the gun, then you will probably be ok when you explain to the cops what happened.

Then there is the whole thing where if you injure them they may be able to come back and sue you. It sucks, but sometimes its true.

Sad..but sometimes it is better to beat someone up with a stick and injure them to where they can recover. That way they cannot sue you. That puts you in a situation where the cops know it was self defense and not excessive force. It also kills any lawsuit they would be able to bring against you.

So in conclusion, before you think about owning a gun, or before you pull one, think about what it could do to you, and your freedom.


Take care,

Sean

In a life or death situation, a knife. The most lethal of the four and the most easily concealed and wielded. Also more practical: I don't think carrying around a long staff or nunchaku is terribly intelligent or realistic.

Thank you someone who isn't adding new weapons to the list.

[JaredExtreme]

I prefer my fists.

[Response] I strongly agree. This was repeatedly pounded into our heads when I was in training for the City of Miami Police Department back in the mid-70's. "If your gun comes out of it's holster be commited to shooting it. And when you shoot always aim for the torso/chest area." (Shoot to kill)

[Response] You might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride.

[Response] Oh yes they can!! You just comitted aggravated battery. I've been told that the only defense that really works is to repeatedly stick to this arguement "I feared for my life." In any case - It's better to be judged by twelve than be carried by six

watch the surviving edged weapons tape put out with guro i and leo gaje and you will see my point about guns vs blade.
