Best Legal Weapon to carry

[BoarSpear]

I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would want to NUT on their assailant

Its markin' yer territory.

Nah thats where YOU are wrong...NO one gets close enough to head butt as a first strike...even my friends dont stand that close when talking to me...NO STRANGER ever will...I will confront your dumbass for even tryin...we aint kissin, you dont need to be in kissin range, back off

What, you think I was talking about YOU do you mate? Well excuse me as I piss me pants over here mate. I can imagine you in a pub, "no one gets that close to me! Back off stranger" every time someone walks past. lol. Paranoia int healthy mate, you gotta get with it innit.

'ey mate, g'day mate, 'ow's yer uncle Paul mate?

Not fer nothin' Nut-fella, but you really need to ease-up on the "mate" in every single post. You're starting to sound like a bad movie.

Alright guys. We're all brothers and sisters here. No need to start stuff like that.

I always recommend carrying a couple of things. My personal favorite is a pen because it's so compact and works almost exactly like a knife. My other favorites are a flashlight for dark areas and a kali stick. As far as I know carrying a stick with you isn't illegal.

Here in Alaska, as long as you're 21 and aren't a felon, you can legally carry a concealed gun without a license. So my answer is "H&K USP .45 Compact" or "Rossi Model R46102 .357". We get mugged by them polar bears all the time.

Until I turn 21 though (and probably even then too), I'll continue to carry at least one of these at all times:


Pretty cheap-looking thing, and it was about $2.00 if I remember right, but I've been rough with it on things for about a year now, and it's done fine.

keys, belt, newspaper, umbrella, brief case, book, pen, pocket knife. Weapons are everywhere. We don't live in an octogon cage.

That's a nice looking blade. What model is this?

[DickHardman]

its the kershaw speed bump with a g10 handle.

[DickHardman]

It's actually a really efficient blade design, too. The acute tip angle means it'll still thrust well, but the big belly means a much larger/longer cutting edge in the same length knife. Keeping the ogive of the belly back near the half-way point means that the steeper blade angle near the tip will allow the sharpened edge to assist in thrusting, instead of just relying on "pointy-ness," and the the deeply curved belly allows the knife itself to drag its way through meat (or whatever) on slashes and cuts.

There are better designs for stabbing, and better designs for slashing, but very few types of blade geometry as as well balanced for doing both.

yeah i like the blade shape a lot too. even though it looks different, its pretty functional. ken onion is one of their main designers, i think the fact that he used to be an aeronautical engineer is part of the reason he is able to create such good functional designs. that particular knife is an assisted opener too. kershaw has been making a lot of good blades as of late.

remember all fights start before the first strike, if i were to carry any weapon, it'd be persuasive speach, attempt to escape from a fight. my personal rule is: Ask them once to leave you alone. then make eye contact, and says, please i dont want to fight you. then make an excuse if they still persist. and the fourth time. destroy them without mercy. or. if your feeling rather combative like i always am lol, give them 1 warning. if they persist... give them the works...

I'd say
#1- a brain (situational awareness, conflict resolution skills)
#2- good reflexes to external stimuli; the ability to flip on "intent" quick.
#3- a visable gun, which acts like a deterrent to shit starting.
#4- a good knife, like the Spyderco P'kal, which is now my personal favorite, which'll probably be more economical and efficient at the range we're talking about.

Unfortunately, most people lack either one or two...which make 3 and 4 less effective.
