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:Quote:

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
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.
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.
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!
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
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.Quote:

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
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.
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?
Study military hand to hand combat manuals. I can kill you in 5 different flavors :)
I'll crawl behind you and let you take care of the bullies!:)Quote:

Being a smaller female...I suppose we do need certain protection againest certain people...
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. >_>
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.
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.)
LOVE..
I expect to be LOVED...
I LOVE
I also bring condoms...
someone already beat you to that punch knowm. anyways, as far as protection goes I have nothing to worry about
I been learning Thai Kickboxing for little over a year now.
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.
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.Quote:

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.
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.
...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.
i always have a tiny bit of pcp in my pocket and some shitty music on my ipod, just incase
I always have one of my dogs with me. He doesn't let anybody near me I don't want near me.:D
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. ;)
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.Quote:

Nuff said,
I own 2 shotguns, a .243 deer rifle, a desert eagle and a derringer .22
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:Quote:
