I can understand women needing some form of protection if its a sketch neighborhood, but personally I say leave the knife at home. Its sketch if you should get patted down.
Just make yourself an unattractive target and youll never be bothered. Dont carry or wear anything pricy looking and you wont be percieved as worth the effort of mugging.

I live in a town that is fairly "safe" but recently there has been an abduction in a surrounding town, and a couple attempted abductions in my town (in broad daylight none the less) so...i would say yes. very much so

All this bad neighbourhood, good neighbourhood talk is irrelivant. Crime happens everywhere, especially when you least expect it. I want to carry a knife but i don't. I believe in England the law views that if you are found in possesion of a knife, that in itself is intent to use the knife in a crime. Therefore, since i usually have bud on me, i don't need any extra weapons to potentially add a more lengthy jail sentence. I wish that i could walk the streets free of fear, but i can't. I am always aware. I only have a crappy swiss army knife, that i've mainly used to scrape my rezin in the past. My safety is extremely important to me which is why i am not considering purchasing a decent knife for protection. Luckily i haven't needed to use one but the thing is you never know what the future holds. I feel i'm always outnumbered by chavs, there seems to always be 5 or 6 of them and just one of me. I want a gun more then a knife but that's 5 years if caught...

Oh you can't be more wrong with that statement. Crime can happen anywhere, yes, but it is MUCH more likely in certain areas. You don't live based on "crime happens everywhere." If you did, you'd be one paranoid sob who never left his house and kept a shotgun by his side. You live on probability. Alright and good neighborhoods are where people usually walk and not expect anything to happen. Worse parts of town is where people walk and know if they're not careful and/or lucky, something could happen.

It's that kind of attitude that will catch you off guard in your 'safe area'

its bogus that there are even places where people are scared to go out for a walk. especially in america. used to be a nice place. for a little bit lol.

Yea carry it if is legal to. Around here, I've seen people get so fucked up...carry the blade everywhere, just incase something like that happens (muggers, mistake me for someone else, etc). I refuse being stomped on like a fire.

putting that shit on the news everyday is a big reason for bad things happening. of course something like that is going to happen every day we live in a country of 300 million peple for the love pete. the odds say there are going to be at least 365 wackos and rapists, probably way more.. media likes to keep us living in fear. it doesnt happen nearly as often as the news would have you believe, even if it is every day
this says it all:
"The eyes of fear want us to put bigger locks on our doors, buy guns and lock ourselves away.
The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Hereâ??s what we can do to change the world right now to a better ride.
Take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year. Instead use it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the worldâ?¦. which it would, many times overâ?¦ no human being excludedâ?¦. and then we can explore spaceâ?¦ togetherâ?¦. both inner and outerâ?¦ foreverâ?¦. in peace."
