little weapon to keep with you?

[Tom Yum]

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

not in hell's kitchen....

[Hardball]

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

Yea but it gives good cops, Bad publicity. It makes them look like the Bad Guys.

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?

I would recommend an ASP nightstick

These are used by law enforcement and military police. They are easy to conceal (spelling?) and is made to break bones when you hit a person with it. Yes, you got it right; it's designed for that.
They're illegal for civilians here in Sweden, but I don't know where you're from so I can't say for sure.

No problem, it just so happens that stun guns have been in the news a lot here in Maryland. Lots of publicity from about 6 stun gun deaths.

I don't know what all the big fuss is about. Carry a yawara or a kuboton. It is simple to use and easily concealed, and non-leathal. Most of the time it used to control another person.

I don't know how it would work in a multiple person situation though.
You can have it in most places without people noticing. I know a couple guys who carry them with them most places they go.

One thing that carries a disproportionately high level of risk is fighting with potentially armed muggers and being more concerned with their safety than your own.

The truth in that sentence transcends this whole thread.

[jiuelie]

hmmm, quite a few things to answer to....
1-What's a yawara or kuboton?
2-Get some ak47s from the hezbollah? mother.... the chiite guys and theire allies are the ones i'm worried about!
3-Big as lebanon? man lebanon is smaller than washington, dammnit! we're a midget country!

[jiuelie]

Btw, i used to carry a short weighed chain with me, its effective but very unwiledly un close quarters or tight alleys.

[jiuelie]

Noooo maaan! I'm not worried about the hezbollah's army!
The guys i;m worried about are the low-level thugs that hang around trying to make themselves look important and pretending to belong to the army. They can barely swing a knife by the way, i'm not worried about my own safety, but i'm afraid that someone would get to my bro or my friends

[DickHardman]

....and you guys thought my post earlier was a joke.

[hEmPY]

yo

if ya worried bout wankstaz boy

try yawara

yawara fukk you up good

LOL

[Jace]

If you're considering carrying a kubotan, you'd do just as well or better with a sturdy ink pen.

actually a first grade pencil makes it through all security checkpoints, according to my friend who is a us air marshal ; )

Most people wouldn't consider that dangerous while taking a look at it.

haha, the better suggestion would be a pair of flippers to get the hell outta the country...
I;m in another part of the country than the hezbollah, and we'd be ready for them when they come, but unfortunatle there's thugs in my neighborhood who don't have access to any heavy weapons, or even guns (which are tougheto get here, whatever you may think)
