Do you carry?

[Anna Kovacs]

Everywhere I go.

Is that an AirSoft? I used to carry a gas pistol in Germany. It wouldn't fire regular ammo but had CS filled rounds. Never had to actually fire but did pull it once. It was basically a .38 revolver with a modified cylinder. As far as one could tell though it looked real enough and saved my ass from a nice Turkish beating. Fuckers thought I was a neo nazi with my military hair cut.

BURN! lol.

I carry a utility knife in my backpack pretty much all the time. Does that count?

It's my Al Qaeda stilletto. That's right, I said it.

[Darkpaladin]

Nothing but my fists, baby.

Too bad you misspelled it. :tongue3:

I, too, live in the wonderfully restrictive LA county, so no CCW for me. But I make up for it by carrying two folding fighters daily, unless I'm going to Saturday's NoHo DB class, then just one, but accompanied by a bag full of rattan sticks.

In my jeep, the only additional weapon is my "The Club" steering wheel lock.

At home, I have the .45 Glock 21, a .38 derringer, a .22 magnum revolver, 4-5 swords, a machete, 15 non-kitchen knives, a bunch of taped pipe, shitloads of rattan sticks & staffs and one genuine attack kitty.

I'm fairly comfortable with every weapon in my inventory.

Lol. posting in a hurry, and i was only off by a vowel.
cut me some slack.

Ouch.

I actually have one of these that was intended as a gift for someone else, but they got one before i could give them mine, so i'm left with an extra 'club'. I should practice with it.

Do you know how to use it properly? Don't be offended by my question, as I'm just curious. I've carried a knife for years but had minimal skill 99% of that time. I'm just now doing something more about it.

A valid question. Don't worry, that's not the kind of thing I would take offense to.

In all honesty? I have no training in how to properly use a knife (except in the kitchen, where I am SMOOTH baby). It's a tactical folder I carry as a utility knife. I grew up in the boonies and it just seems weird not to have one around at all times.

I'd like to learn how to properly handle a blade, but there's no competent edged weapon instruction in the area that I've been able to find, so I'm kind of stuck at this point.

To be honest, I don't even really think of it as a weapon, just something to cut things with if they need cut. Shortsighted perhaps, but I live in a pretty tame area. I guess it's just kind of low on my list of priorities right now . . .

Wow!

How is it we poke fun at a guy like Phil who walks around with key-chain flashlights? When, I wonder more about this strange need that people have to arm themselves when they run out to Blockbuster.

"Because you never know" right guys?

We don't own a website devoted to self defense against homeless people and black dudes.

Personally, I carry a knife for utility above anything else. Have you tried opening a package without one? And having to go to my room or the kitchen to get a knife is a lot of work too, so I just keep one on me.

Yeah, and it's a real pain in the ass if they manage to escape while you're out of the room.
