Do you carry a weapon?
2003-12-20, 7:20 AM #1
I am not asking what and how many weapons you, your father, your grandfather, or your former roommate's girlfriend may own. I'm asking if it's normal for you to grab a weapon for safety or whatever when you go outside. Toenail clippers, fists, and army tanks don't count. Knives, firearms, anything like that.

What is it/are they, why do you carry it/them, do you have a license for it/them, what country or American state do you live in, and so on.

And I don't want this to turn into a gun control laws debate.

I don't carry any weapons.

[Edit] I'm also interested in whether you've ever had to use it/them or not. [/edit]

<kyle90> i got my SAT scores back
<kyle90> according to the sheet i got sent in the mail, I did "better than 99% of all college-bound seniors"
<kyle90> of course, thats comparing me to americans
<kyle90> so its not really a fair assessment

I usually carry a 3 inch blade (except to school) on me, but I carry it more for its purposes as a tool than a weapon.

(even if I did have to use it as a weapon, I doubt I could [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif])

I carry a pen or keys. Those are more handy in self-defense than knives I'd say, more of a surprise. Never had to use them as a weapon to defend, but I've used them to attack my roommate.

I also have a knife, but I dont carry it, though I do keep it at school.... in my dorm.... it's for peanut butter.

I don't carry any weapons, other than harsh language and a short fuse. If I did, I would carry something non-lethal like a can of pepper-spray or a tazer. I doubt I could conceal a Desert Eagle in my pocket but that would be nice if I could, hehe! HOW I WOULD LOVE TO KILL ANY PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 16 JUST BECAUSE THEY PISS ME OFF MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have an Airsoft Beretta 92FS (looks quite real), but I have never carried it around with me, and never will. I don't have any real guns.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Well, it's a knife, but I don't consider it a weapon. It's about 5" long when fully extended. I use it to sharpen my pencils which I carry with me all the time.

Spoons aren't fully appreciated. I think it's high time they came back as the weapon of choice.
