little weapon to keep with you?

[jiuelie]

Hey, i just want your take on something....
The neighborhood here's been getting pretty rough, and the number of muggings has rised a lot. I know how to defend myself when attacked, but i'm thinking of getting a small, easy to use, NON LETHAL weapon to keep with me just in case.
That means no knives and no guns, i don't want to kill someone, rather something i could break a wrist with, and could hide in my belt or under my shirt.
Anyoby got an idea?

[jiuelie]

I can't leave my neighborhood because i can't take my family with me, and stunguns are almost impossible to find here.
I don't carry a knife because i already almost killed someone once, he ended up in the er for a week, but i got off on self-defense.
So?

[jiuelie]

BTW, i can already break someone's arm easy if he goes at me, but i want something to be able to protect the person next to me as well (brother, girlfriend, they depend on me here), or if there are multiple attackers and I can't waste time grappling with one.

I'm lebanon man, so i don't think you know the spot, lol.
I didn't stab him, he came at my bro with a tire iron, i managed to wrestle it from him and bang him in the arm then the head, that's why i'm thinking about using something like that, but i don't want to walk around with a big ol tire iron in my shirt!
I'd be grateful with whatever you can give me

hey man, i can give you and idea, maybe it will sound like a pussy weapon but it can rescue you even from the biggest strongest mofo in the block, its easy, let them cry, use peper spray (i hope i spelled peper right).

I carried it a while ago, and it helped me in a "hit and run" style but you could go other way "spray and then kick his ass, brake a bone"

its small for your pocket and you cant kill anyone whit it.



i cant remeber any other weapon, that cant kill a man, except this

Life is choices and your post and responses to Mr. Brewer make it sound like you are trying to not make any. Either choose to carry an effective weapon, or choose not to.

Guns and knives are popular because guns and knives work. Non-lethal objects such as brass knuckles or small metal sticks are available and they might work, but then fists work almost as well and don't take time to deploy.

I watched a couple having a screaming match outside a local club once. During the course of the argument, she got out some spray and sprayed him two or three times before she got in their car and left. Afterwards, he sat down and scrubbed his eyes, but he managed to ignore the spray almost completely in the heat of the fight.

That's the trouble with stuff that can't hit hard enough to seriously injure or kill- in the end, those weapons depend upon a failure in the willfulness of the attacker.. That's a huge question mark to leave in the equation.

Mike i dont think he said he lives in lebanon, i think he just meant he is lebanon. but im not sure ,wait for his response.

Damn, this guys is as big as Lebanon? How much does he eat? And watch out afterwards....

There are many many many accidental deaths from stun guns. Since this guy doesn't want to kill anyone, I wouldn't suggest a stun gun.

I carry a knife. I have gun in my car.

How about some scissors. You can still get in trouble if you do something stupid so be careful and only use for self defense. You can kill someone with these.

lol, if you are in lebanon you should pretty much have access to some of the most advanced weaponry in the world. why dont you talk to some hezbollah members and buy some ak47s off them. they have m16s also if you want american made. theres also the iranians, you could buy weapons from them too as they run weapons into lebanon day and night. if assault rifles arent enough, you could save up some more cash and get an advanced rpg from syria. the ones supplied by syria laid waste to israeli tanks, that is serious firepower. why dont you just talk to some fools down the block and see what you can get your hands on.

how much do one of these cost over there??

You need to be aware of the details of the laws regarding use of force. YOUR INTENT for any kind of device could be considered EXCESSIVE or even deadly.

The laws of MOST states prohibit many SPECIFIC types of weapons both blunt and sharp. Not only that but many include all manner of weapons based soley on the intended purpose.

You might not be charged with assault if you use a wet noodle but you could still be charged with attempted murder if you were trying to kill him with it...

In fairness, there are even more accidental deaths from kitchen appliances...

Maybe so but kitchen appliances are used more than stun guns.
