plz dont hurt me...
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
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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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:

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.
dai*ma :D
I carry a glock 26. Ohio passed the ccw law a while ago.
I have guns and knives and stuff, but would never take them on the street. I tell ya, if I ever got jumped around my area I would be so damn surprised... then go grab ma' gat lol! :D
Well..I get some of my clothes from consignment shops..does that count?:)Quote:

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.Quote:

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...:(
weapons only lead to more problems in 99% of the cases
im quite intuitive, thats how i protect myself
my other trick is getting pissed then it dont hurt so much :)
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.Quote:

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
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.
