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...
