Non-Firearm Weapons

[Viking Blood]

Anyone else here into non-firearm weapons? Since firearms are so heavily restricted in Canada (and most places outside the US), I got more interested in knives, canes and impact weapons. Today I'm carrying a Spyderco Chinook, Surefire E2e flashlight, DTL Impact Kerambit (cleverly disguised as a wrench), Comtech Stinger,and a couple of different Kubotans.
I spend lots of time and money acquiring new toys to fill my pockets (and Vanessa's purse), and learning new methods of defending myself with them.

A butterfly knife, 3 ninja throwing stars and a crossbow.

YES! Extra points if you carry the crossbow on a regular basis!

You can't use it if you leave it at home...

I live in the suburbs where everyone is uptight about weapons (and everything else) If I carried a crossbow around my neighbor would call the police. :eek

[Phlegethon]

I'd call the police if you were unarmed as well.

You're afraid of unarmed Magyar midgets?

[Phlegethon]

Magyar Midgets are mean, mischievous, meretricious, maladjusted, maladroit, malafite, malcontent, malefic, malevolent, malignant - and maltreatable.

I am done with alliterations for today.

Interesting interest!

In an actual combat scenario, though, never underestimate the value of stray pieces of wood. Additionally, anything metallic, can easily turn the tide of a fight. Even a fork can be incredibly useful.

Butter (blunt) knives are in some ways better than slicing knives - any wound inflicted is very messy and doesn't heal as quickly as a clean but deeper sharp knife thrust.

With these types of objects, the law is far less a cause for concern. There is no doubt, though, that your weapons would have a far better deterrent effect on a would-be assailant!!

i really think your best bet with a non firearm is a can of mace or peper spray.

Carrying weapons in England can get you into all sorts of trouble. Although at various times ive carried fistloads, stanley knives, heavy chains with padlocks and aerosols + a lighter under various different pretences.
