How do you protect yourself?

[BlazinHaze]

I live in the downtown area of a relatively large city with a ridiculous crime rate. So, being a smaller female, I carry a boot knife at all times...just in case.

[shoi]

plz dont hurt me...

[buddymyfriend]

I used to carry a Kosh but alas my punk ass friend has it. I'm pretty handy with my fists and can look after myself. But you have to ask yourself, what kind of world are we living in that we have to carry some kind of protection to feel safe?

Peace

Buddy

[skulltorcha]

I carry my fists, thats all i need.

[Shelbay]

I carry my fists, thats all i need.
Then your a man and lucky..small females unless trained in self defense ( and THAT does not always work) need protection these days. I'm not so concerned about rape as much as robbing now with the crystal meth epidemic in this State..and no heroes these days..thats why women are told to yell fire instead of rape if being attacked..people will come running for a fire but turn their heads if seeing a woman beat and raped...not all but most...and why take the chance being caught with no protection?

[chisme]

teloscopic nun-chuka's small meltal ones they have a small holder that goes on the back of my belt .

when i pull them out because i store them upside down the strain from the holder pulls the toloscopic peices out into full size nun-chaka's yes i cant spell nu-chuka's lemme find a pic of the sorta things.



here a pic i have the black ones on the left:

[chisme]

oh i also have a machette under my bed and a aluminium (ALL METAL) nike ice hockey stick. lol also a gat-gun that fires lead pellets and darts...u knwo the ones u get at the fairground .

[chisme]

call me a coward but ill tell you this I FIGHT WITH MY FIST BUT PEOPLE WHERE I LIVE DONT.


where i live people r pussies cos they say they wanna fight you then when you turn up they've allways got like at least 3 mates and i never take anyone but they never want a one on one

its allways like ''ha cmon lads get him''
...but i allways hit the first guy in the throat lol so i now its back down to 2 against 1 my sneaky trick. if not i try to get close and headbutt them when they dont expect it.......right on the eyebrow.

[stangle12]

i studied martial arts for 8 and a half years. I have a black belt. strangly enough, i've never had to use it.

[highjinx]

so you carry around a BLACK BELT? LOL jk

Male or Female, i think the best way to protest youseft is to not be put in a situation where you need protection, using you head not going somewhere that you dont belong or just avoiding potenial dangers. better to be safe that sorry! on the other hand there are those times in life that cant be avoided and thats why i carry a knife, but not just for protection! as for the people that beleave in only bringing there fists, have you ever heard the expression "bringing a knife to a gun fight" you never know when that might happen of you run in to a group of larger stonger men, then what!

I stay away from people I think might hurt me...

[Torog]

Howdy BlazinHaze,

That there boot-knife,looks more like a skinner knife with a gut-hook,it ain't all that good for actual combat,but it sure could wreak alot of damage !

I think that it would be best,if you went to a woman's self-defense class,they'll teach you how to avoid bad situations in the first place,doing such,is one of the best defenses that you can have-that and developing situational aware-ness. To improve yer odds,you need to be trained in the use of a knife or gun,before using them as your means of defense.

Does North Carolina,have concealed-carry available ? Your best means of defense,other than avoiding bad situations,would be to have a CCW permit and be trained in the use of a pistol in close-quarters,you would also need to mentally prepare yourself for inflicting injuries with lot's of blood and physical damage,which could be the hardest part of all. If you take the CCW route,I suggest a compact 45,as it's stopping power,is much superior to that of a 9mm.

You could also git some pepper-spray,but you need some rudimentary training for that as well. A taser would work good too,but I don't what the laws are in regards to that there in NC,it requires some training as well.

Have a good one !

These days with crystal in this stae there are HOme Invasions increasing very quickly..just had one 8 miles from where we live and the elderly couple were lucky that they just robbed them..of course knocked them around a bit but they were in their home..sleeping..tore out of their bed in their home and robbed! So it really does not matter where you are these days..crystal takes away the users self control and I say protection is needed wherever you may be....I hate that drug! I really hate it.

I've carried a pocket knife with me since I was 10. Not necessarily for protection, but you never know when it's gonna be needed. And to answer Torog's question, yes you can get a concealed gun permit pretty much anywhere in NC. While I'm not sure on any limits with tasers, you can buy them so I'm sure you can carry them. For protection, I have a small sword next to my bed and a loaded pistol right next to it.

Just read your post Torog...you are right in what you say but I have to add that even being trained in self defense and the area you are in does not always work..and yes the actual visual aftermath of shooting a person is not like what most people see on t.v. It is a memory that stays with you forever..thats why I really try to tell my g/fs to have a weapon that will kill..not piss a crack/meth head off..if I sound harsh I apologize to you but I firmly believe in using whatever methods available when being attacked...especially if someone were unlucky enough to even get in my home..I will tell whoever it may be even leo if someone makes the mistake of ever attacking me in my home they will not be a need for an ambulance and I mean that! Tasers and pepper spray are useful but I would want to stop the person before I had to come in that kind of close contact with them..but I do have my spray and I pray. And ladies when you are out alone..no matter the area..carry a HOT cup of coffee or liquid (TEA) in your hand and if attacked throw it right in your attackers eyes..try to blind them..because I have learned that much..if they can't see you then you have a chance...and carry your key in between your fingers and jab their eyes if you don't have anything else..right in the eye...there are no "fair fights" these days..do what it takes to live...don't let a punk take your life and/or affect your happy home...sorry Torog about how I feel but its the truth..sorry if it offends you.

Howdy Shelbay,

You haven't offended me in the slightest,as Buzz says "I'll prolly agree with ya..". You give some good tips in fact-using whatever means is available is a good thing,like keys,hot coffee or a pen or pencil. There's no greater deterrent to crime,than armed citizens willing to kill to defend themselves..because criminals rarely respect or fear laws,but they do know for a fact-that they can't out-run a bullet.

Like you say-blinding the criminal is a good thing and I like yer tip about hot coffee or tea,hitting a person in the nose is another way to blind them,or-if ya kick em in the nuts and they bend over in pain,grab their head and drive yer knee into their nose..then run like heck !

Like you say-there ain't no fair fights anymore..and one should and can,use whatever means is available,although many courts frown if un-equal force is used. Florida has taken a huge step for victim's rights,by saying that one does not have to run away from a confrontation..it'll be interesting to see how the first case of that goes.

Have a good one ! :stoned:

[daima]

I'm a decent size guy 5'11 180lbs, i go to the gym and have a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, but i still carry my mace of my key ring. I would also suggest that people always pay attention to their surroundings and dont be afraid to ask for an escort to your car, or home. Most taxis here in SF are more than willing to give free rides to people who find themselves in an area where they feel unsafe, or have had another hassle them. Education works just as well, and sometimes even better than selfdefence. Think and be aware. This is America and we are as a nation are very very violent. Once in a while we meet others who wish no one any harm. Be alert. Criminals dont always look like monsters, as our government proves. Nice haircuts, nice clothes, nice cars, well spoken, etc etc are signs of a successful criminal. The nicest people i know wear thriftshop clothing. Go figure.
We also need to keep in mind that humans are part of the animal world. We are predatory in nature and like most other animals we seek the weak ones and those who are the most vulnerable as our vicitms/meals. We are one of the few species on earth that kill for the hell of it. Sad but True.

I carry a glock 26. Ohio passed the ccw law a while ago.

Shelbay is 100% correct. If you're a woman being attacked by a man you want to make sure that you fuck him up so badly he isn't going to get up and run after you. I studied kickboxing and offensive street fighting for two years. The place where I trained (http://www.militarymuaythai.com/) taught a women's self defense class that was possitively brutal. The goal was to put the attacker in the hospital and if you killed him so be it. There was none of this "kick him in the nuts and run away" shit you see on tv. Like the saying goes "a best defense is a good offense" and this was all offense.

Fortunately the city I live in, San Jose, is pretty mellow. It's the 10th largest city in the U.S. but has very little crime. Actually it is a fact that it has the lowest crime rate, for the city of its size, in the U.S. . I've only had to use my training two times and none of those were in situations that I felt really threatened in. What scares me is that nowadays people are so quick to use a knife or gun. I can hold my own if its hand-to-hand, and even have some training in knife combat, but if someone wants to shoot me? Oh well...:(

[bedake]

weapons only lead to more problems in 99% of the cases

[sim667]

im quite intuitive, thats how i protect myself

my other trick is getting pissed then it dont hurt so much :)

[daima]

Well..I get some of my clothes from consignment shops..does that count?:)
I too shop at consignment shops. Wearing new things makes me feel strange....or maybe its more of a wasteful feelings. Plus i am rasing two grand kids so shopping on a lower budget for myself makes sense. I actually try buying all hemp clothing. Just about anything but cotton. I do do some hemp clothes shopping on E-Bay. Usually pretty good deals.
If you make it out to SF you will love the number of secondhand/Consignment stores. They are every where

true story ^ i tell my girl to go for the throat or the balls. that might sound rough but all guys know just something brushin the balls hurts lol.

[drinksmokesleep]

I have a large iron bar down the side of my bed, several lock back knifes lying around pretty much in easy reach(i use em for chopping weed up).

But if all alse fails i could just hit them with me guitar

[psychocat]

I rarely get any trouble, I think my height and my appearance put most folk off from starting shit with me.
I also have a reputation for having a very bad temper which makes it easier.

The same is true for me. I never am the one to start the shit, and being pretty big and intimidating, very few people ever start shit with me. Works out good.:thumbsup:

I WILL however, be getting a ccw permit as soon as I turn 21. I believe i'll be getting a glock 40 from my uncle for cheap so I should be good.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

In my 17 years on the planet I've never had a fight with anyone other than my brother.. I don't try, but I just don't seem to ever get into any fight situations, so for now I don't really think about protecting myself, but if the shit hits the fan I'll let loose lol :p

[420purplehaze420]

a pair of brass nucks, and a 5 inch blade. On the very few occasions ive had to use the self defense i just gave them my best shot to the jaw and they went down like a brick, gave them a few kicks in the teeth and stomach and they arent in any shape to fuck around. never had to pull out the blade and slice someone up though, always a last resort.

[dopesmoker]

i have never been jumped or been in an actual fight which is surprising considering all my friends have and im underweight for my age. I do have a knife with a 6 inch blade that i bought in a pawn shop, but other then that i would be using my fists. Where i live most people just beat the living shit out of other people with their fists, not much really violent stuff. It probably helps that most of the really strong or good fighters are friends with either me or my brother so it only leaves people that dont want to fight me anyway because they think my friends will jump in.

[Swizzy89304]

Im 18 and have been jumped by some cockhead chav, just because we werent singing with him when they all walked past (there was just me and Ben, and there were about 6/7 of them).
I used to carry my gorgeous TM Beretta 'Biohazard' around with me (and a massive GB-Tech silencer aswell cos it makes it look 'harder' lol) but now Ive sold that to Ben so I could buy a decent growlamp.
When I get some money, Im gonna visit Webley and Scott in Brummieland and buy a decent hunting knife from them. Dad got one from there when he bought his rifle and it only cost a fiver, fuckin sharp 4" blade with guthook and a nice rubber and metal handle. Gilders in town sell them for £20 each!
Next time someone jumps me, theyll get a helluva surprise.
And yes if I had to, I would use it - Im used to the sight of blood anyway. Hell, if its me or him, its gonna be him that pegs it!

[hunny]

i have a machete within reach under my bed,,in the drawer is a bowie knife ,,,,,but wouldnt take them outside be hard to conceal for one,,an two its illegal to carry an offensive weapon ,,an im a law abidin person lmao

[da haze meister]

Does North Carolina,have concealed-carry available ? Your best means of defense,other than avoiding bad situations,would be to have a CCW permit and be trained in the use of a pistol in close-quarters,you would also need to mentally prepare yourself for inflicting injuries with lot's of blood and physical damage,which could be the hardest part of all. If you take the CCW route,I suggest a compact 45,as it's stopping power,is much superior to that of a 9mm.

you have some good points man... im not sure a real small girl could handle a short-barreled .45ACP, as the recoil is harsh on the wrists. when i was 12, i could barely handle a 5 inch m1911! but innyway, we should shoot together sometime man. my fave for protection is my 9mm SigPro 2009. It barely recoils, and it is perfect for a tight situation. As to .45, my fave is of course the classic m1911, or a S&W 4506.

[BobBong]

you can protect me, anytime.. :dance:

Carry a .22lr... You can fire off 10 shots in a short space of time and I'm sure they'd stop in their tracks the same as a .45 would make them. Also the bullets can ricochet off their bones and go all around their body, whereas the .45 will just knock them down in one... So I suggest having fun and doing damage with a .22 lol :p

Im thinking of getting like an 8 shot .22 revolver or a Ruger Mk1 for plinking and target shooting. Thing that prompted me to buy guns? a bullet went through our wall.

Sweet as hell, I shot a Ruger Mk. III when I was in Orlando last, I loved it.
If I were to buy a gun (and they were legal over here) I'd certainly be purchasing one of them!

I mean the .357 and .45's were sweet, but inaccurate at distance, 25 yards with the .22lr and all shots were going at least in the body of the target :D

[VoidLivesOn]

I've never really had to think about self defense.I've pretty much lived in small towns my entire life.Even when I was living in Queens, NY I was on a army base.Never fought in my life cause I've never held a reason.But I'm sure if I lived in a huge city with bad crime rate, I would just carry a cross and some garlic...maybe a screw driver.

[RevDutch]

its a good idea to always have a small knife with you, not even for protection but you never know when you might need to cut something open (like those pesky bags of snacks that seem to be taunting you with their ability to stay closed no matter how hard you try to tear them open). as for myself, i earned a first degree black belt when I was 12, and I've had to use some my skills from time to time, but for the most part, if you grab someone's throat and squeeze like you're trying to touch your fingers together, that person will usually back down pretty quickly. or if you want people to avoid you alltogether, then just carry around a nice big baseball bat. I mean seriously, how many of you would walk up to someone that's walking down the street with a baseball bat?

[Euphoric]

Study military hand to hand combat manuals. I can kill you in 5 different flavors :)

[ImStonedNILikeIt]

I'm in a martial arts class,So I am learning self defense...If all else fells, I have my bitch boots, (knee high boots, almost like those heavy duty combact boots)

So far i've only had to use them three times. All were perverted males...:o

Being a smaller female...I suppose we do need certain protection againest certain people...

[newbie1232]

I took taekwondo, aikido, and judo for a bit, not anymore though, thinking of getting back into it.

I always carry my trusty metal kubaton just in case (I go out at night a lot). If I'm wearing a jacket or generally just have an extreme fear of getting jumped that night, I'll carry my nunchakus (I have like 3-4 pairs, most are wooden or rattan, but I have a metal (chrome) pair too,) which I have extensively trained in.
I also train in iaido, so I'm pretty well-equiped when it comes to fights. I try to avoid them though, my best weapon is parkour, I can get away from someone pretty easily.

Oh yeah, if you're wondering why I am so paranoid, it's because, well, I can't tell you, but let's just say I do a lot of things at night. >_>

[Baker420]

in my door of my car i have a tire iron(its L shaped). then i have a switch blade in the glove compartment. Before , i didnt have these items, and one night at a stop sign, a guy beside me in the other lane got out of his car (he was like 6' 4'' 250 ish, and i had my windows down. He said some shit to me and my friends( and remember , i only had 2 friends with me, one small little mexican and a non violent white guy) any ways, the guy also had some friends who were alot bigger than us with him. They got out of the car, and went up to my and was like "im going to fucking kill you" i was like "oh fuck" and i had my windows down, and my sun roof open, so it was easy access. fuck ever since that night, i stay ready and willing to smakc anyone across the face with my tire iron.

[newbie1232]

Man, they really need to bump up the edit time on these boards, lol.

I'm also paranoid because I look pretty weak, and I'm underweight. Oh, and the fact that I've been in a fight nearly every year of my life. (Maybe not actual fisticuffs, but confrontations that were seconds away from a fight.)

[Garden Knowm]

LOVE..
I expect to be LOVED...
I LOVE

I also bring condoms...

[Jeff Spicoli]

someone already beat you to that punch knowm. anyways, as far as protection goes I have nothing to worry about

[Fabolous]

I been learning Thai Kickboxing for little over a year now.

[Das Boot]

I fight mountain man style. You run at em' screaming: BLAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Then you pick them up and drop them on the ground and scream: BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Then you grab a huge rock and run at the crowd of bystanders and scream: BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Then it's off to the hills to eat delicious lion meat.

[tadaa]

Carry a .22lr... You can fire off 10 shots in a short space of time and I'm sure they'd stop in their tracks the same as a .45 would make them. Also the bullets can ricochet off their bones and go all around their body, whereas the .45 will just knock them down in one... So I suggest having fun and doing damage with a .22 lol :p

This is a really bad piece of advise. My ccw instructor, nor any instructors in Ohio, won't let you take the course with anything smaller than a .38. If you shoot someone with a .22 in a self defense situation and they are armed you're dead. A .22 is worthless.

Everything you said is completely wrong. A .45 will do MUCH more damage than a .22. You've seen way too many movies, learn some facts.

Also, a gunshot doesn't knock someone over or send them flying, take a simple physics lesson. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Shooting someone with a shotgun will not send them flying backwards. If it did it would also send the shooter flying backwards. This is really basic gun stuff that anyone mildly educated in the area should and would know. I would refrain from giving anyone advise on this subject because you're doing them more harm by telling them to carry a .22 for protection.

[Smokey McPot]

If you ever use that knife stick it in their guts, twist and pull it. Thats why there is a hook. I use my god given guns.

[StOneD.aS.FuK]

...its sad how some people need to take a knife or a gun with you just to feel safe while walking down the street.

fuckin sad, but this world is full of scum. i sure wouldnt hesitate to stab any fuck who tries to take away my freedom.

ive got mugged once, only cause i thought it was safe to walk in the park at 3 in the morning with no lights. he cam out of the bushes and said "got a smoke?" scared the fuck outa me.
had a beanie round his face, and was holding a giant stick. the cunt took 10 bucks which is all i had, and a few smokes i had left., told me to give him my phone, FUCK THAT i thought, so i ran, he chased me, then he dissapered. it was then i wished i had a knife or something, cause id love to watch him bleed, then i would of kicked him into the lake and watched him sink like a bitch. all that for 10 bucks...arhhh its makes me sooo angry how their are people around like that.

[Jeff Spicoli]

i always have a tiny bit of pcp in my pocket and some shitty music on my ipod, just incase

[tootsie roll]

I always have one of my dogs with me. He doesn't let anybody near me I don't want near me.:D

[JunkYard]

Been in a 100 fights, and have never had to resort to weapons, and was beat sensless 95 out of the hundred. I'm certainly not afraid to take a beating, but I do carry (just in case). You never know when some dumbass is going to pull on ya.

I want my ccw. As of now I carry an old hunting knife, but after I get my ccw, I'll be carrying a 45. ;)

[ultimatenyc]

wow, reading through this has been pretty pathetic. i have been in 0 serious fights in my life. 20 years old, lived in an upstate city in ny and the past 2 years in nyc.

the only people who should carry anything are women, for the obvious reasons that they are considered "easy targets" for petty crime as well as violent crime.

for all the men here, where do you live that your life is in danger? if some guy tries to rob you for your wallet is it really worth his or your life by exacerbating the situation? would you really kill somebody because they chose to pick a fight with you? i cant imagine someone just walking up to you on the street to kill you for no reason at all.

I totaly support concealed carry, man! The world is a screwed up place, and it doesn't matter where you are from. It is every Americans right to bear arms, and many of us choose to use that right. It's not pathetic, dude! It's actually not a bad idea, imo.

And yes, if my life is in danger, I will use lethal force!

Nuff said,

[amsterdam]

I own 2 shotguns, a .243 deer rifle, a desert eagle and a derringer .22

[BlazinHaze]

wow, i had no idea that this thread would be so popular.
y'all are right, it is sad to feel like you have to carry a weapon when you walk down the street.
i don't know if i'll ever have to use my knife, but you better believe i'll never hesitate if the situation arises.

Guns are great fun and very safe when people with training and expierience have them. I also think more women should start to carry and own weapons, for sure when they live alone. They are the ultimate equalizer.:thumbsup:

[BlazinHaze]

I almost got a gun last year when i was living in Myrtle Beach, but I didn't.

I've been thinking about it again....but I still don't really know if I will.

Hardly ever have anything on me but when I do it's this

I say go for it. Take the training and no problems. Besides, women who can handle a weapon are hot.

Buy yourself a Derringer .22 , It fits in your purse and is very effective. My 59 year old mother carries one everywhere she goes.:pimp:

[chisme]

i gotta say it i know takwndo(sp?) karatee and stuff like that ios good disipline but in all truth i whent to a kickboxing class for 2 years and in my last class another guy my age punched me in the back of the head half accident hald on porpous u know what i mean...well i went crazy and forgot all the training and just ran into him he fell over and i started putting the boot in .....im not saying im a big hard man cos most of u have seen me for real and know im not a big guy but the training didnt help me and it certainly didnt help him.


anyone seen that vid with the ninjas and the drunk london pub bloke runs in ''cmon u fucking cunts ill fucking ave ya!'' and hes spinning his arms and throwing wild punches.....at the end all the ninjas are knocked out and he's standing there laughing...........suprise is the only way i win

If you've really been in 100 fights you must go looking for them. You sound like you're prone to violence in the first place. Nobody gets into 100 fights unless they really want to.

[friendowl]

i protect myself by not putting myself in a situation
that i cant handle.
usually people can be talked out of unneccesary violence.
if that dont work aim for the head.
its good to have a registered gun and also
a throw away.you can always plant the throw away
and claim self-defense. [ just like the lapd ]

[bedake]

women who can handle a weapon are hot.

That sounds so american haha

Nuff said,

except you didnt answer my question. if youre getting robbed youre life isnt in danger until you put it there. i cant say iv heard of too many cases of someone robbing you and after you comply them shooting you for the fun of it. something needs to happen to cause them to shoot you. if you do something dumb like pull a gun out on someone robbing you with a gun youll only end up with 1 of 2 situations. either youre seriously injured/dead or they are seriously injured/dead, when it could have all been avoided by simply giving the guy your wallet, which imo, is not equal to a life.

[m4ster chef]

I am about to tell anyone who thinks their fists is all they need to please hush.

One of my good friends fights golden gloves and he is also learning some sort of mma style (kick boxing and maybe jujitsu...not totally sure) but about two weeks ago he was at a party and got drunk and fucked up and talked some shit and got jumped by three pretty big dudes and from what he told me, he held ok (he's 6' 4" 260) till it went to the ground.

Then these three faggots proceeded to kick the shit out of him. He now has failing kidney's and will have to undergo a kidney transplant if he ever gets a donor.

I have personally seen this dude get a roofing hammer swung on him. He somehow diverted the swing, GRABBED it, threw it down and beat the crap out of the dude, ONE ON ONE.

He was about the baddest dude that I personally know and he got the absolute shit beat out of him. All i am saying is that no matter how bad you are, (or think you are) there is always someone who's badder...or who has more friends. You gotta watch your own back. and in outnumbered situations you have to be willing to pull weapon or run.

Just my 2cents. I have got my ass beat, but it was always a one on one fight and im cool with that. I like to fight, i think everyone needs to get into a good fight at least once a year. It keeps you alive. But if i get my ass beat and it was fair, then i know that it was my fault and i can live with that. Likewise if i beat the fuck outta some dude that talked shit to me for a month on text messages from someone elses phone and never would tell me who he was so i have to follow the guy who had the phone to find out just so i would have the chance to do it, im cool with that too. But anyway, just watch your back.

[friendowl]

see this guy aint no gangster
but is inteeligent like one.
pull out your weapon of choice and use

or

get some emergency medical treatment

[Thehulkster321]

When I do deals I bring pepper spray with me lol ... I know it sounds lame but I would rather carry that then a gun or a knife becuase if you spray someone with pepper spray it automatticly looks like self defense but if you shoot/stab some one in a deal your fucked.

[m4ster chef]

I sure as hell dont believe in getting the dogshit beat out of you by anymore than one person. Thats doin shit rapper style. And i listen to rock. The rapping society pushes for gangs and gang beatings. They dont say hey 50, wanna fight one of the Murder inc. boys? Yeah... we gonna let ya'll fight on on one. A fair fight? Yeah man...thats how we roll.

No, they say, fuck them mothafuckas. We gonna jump that one little bitch tonight. He aint got none of his boys wit him. We gonna fuck him up good.

[friendowl]

pepper spray is wicked.
good choice.
i got sprayed at king taco
and i drove home and that shit
hurt.i couldnt see i could barely
breath.if i had to fight like
that i would hold on to whatever
and start biting.

[friendowl]

when it comes to gang fights
its usually a murder of a close friend that
would lead to unfair tactics.
other than that we got rules too.

[JunkYard]

Yup, I was a little violent in my youth, lol! I haven't been in a fight for years, though. It was always a whiskey drunk when I felt bullet proof, ya know? Guys hitting on my girl, smart asses, and punks in general always got me going. I've calmed down a bit since high school.

Honestly, I can't count how many fights I've been in. It probably isn't a hundred, but I've been in more than enough to know you don't need weapons in a fight. Like I said, I been beat down proper many times, and never resorted to weapons.

I would never use a weapon unless my life depended on it . . .no matter how bad I'm getting beat. I'm not a small guy, either. I just can't fight for sh!t, lol! ;) I just don't take sh!t from others. You gotta stand up for yourself even if you know you can't win. That's how I was raised, and that's how I'm raising my son. It's easy to get get knocked down, it's getting back up that becomes the problem . . .

If I'm getting robbed at gun point then my life is in danger, and I have no reservations about upping the anti in such a situation. Then again, it really depends on how much money is in the mix. ten bucks, I'd probably let it go. A couple hundred, and I'm pulling on the b!tch on principle!

You got to stand up for yourself sometimes. If you don't, people will run over you for the rest of your life . . .

[420Toaker]

I carry these nucks around everyday with me that i made out of 1/4 in steel plate. Ill only use them if im out numbered or out powered but ill always try to fight with fists only first untill its time for plan B. the main reason i do carry them is alot of the wanna be gangstas and kids who think theyre tuff hardly ever fight 1on1 cause theyre big bitchass pussies that cant hold their own and like to start shit and think theyre bad so ill just pull em out and split thier faces open.

The knife is my diving knife that i keep by the side of my bed incase someone breaks in and i have to shank someone.

[sim667]

Most Americans do not carry guns. I don't even own one. The crime rate in NYC, where it's almost impossible to get a permit, is the lowest of the 20 biggest American cities, but even when it was much worse I didn't have one. Maybe if I lived in a dangerous city, or out in the country, I'd reconsider.

[Jennifer K]

I have a Remmington 22 rifle with my luckey number 13 hollow points in it at all times and springfield 22 single shot rifle and a real cool knife my stepson gave me.:) :dance: :stoned:

dude i dont live in REAL bad of a neighborhood, but you are liable to get mugged if you are walking around here at night, and sometimes they might have guns. if shit jumps off, ill always have my guns at home ready for the fight.
plus i always have my swiss army knife in my wallet and my 4 inch blade in my pocket.
