What do you carry self defense wise?

[Man]

i carry foam and wooden nunchakus because the streets around my area are really dangerous. does anyone know where i can get decent metal ones? i dont think the wooden ones are good enough.

[username4]

you should ask that question as a whole diff topic - man

 

i carry any thing that happens to be near me as a weapon though once i get to far from it i must find a new one my fave thou is my fists and other peoples bodys (i am really strong and still getting stronger)

[Man]

true but my fist are not as strong as yours yet, so ill just have to stick with weapons.

What part of Essex do you live in?

[Man]

its harlow, why?

[Chirath]

I live in Essex but don't feel the need to carry around nunchukas. Although there is alot of crime in Essex though.

Glock 27 (except where I cannot), and a Kershaw tactical folder.

 

I've been kinda eyeing a Taurus P140 as it's cheaper than a second 27, but I've not gotten good range time and... well... it's not Glock

[47MartialMan]

Glocks, like anything, gets overated.

Mostly just my eyes... Whenever someone gets gruff with me I just look sharply at them, and they normaly cower away... Lol jk that would be cool though, in my area weapons aren't needed but I carry a medium sized flick knife that I am comfortabe with. There aren't any people around me my age that I would be worried about 1 on 1 and quite a few that I would be comfortable fighting 1 on 2\3\ maybe even 4\5. But only if they didn't surprise to much and didn't have any kind of weapon(bat, knife, rock, etc.) Note noone in my immediate area trains in the MA's, most just do school on the weekdays and work\party on weekends. Or those htat are outta school work wekdays and party any day they get a chance. NO discipline here.

Foam nunchaku? What do you plan on doing, patting them to death? Or maybe paralyzing them with laughter?

 

Errm, but seriously, if you do know what you are doing, wooden nunchaku will be enough.

 

Is it legal to carry those around like that? I thought with all the laws England had against guns, nunchaku would be up there on the banned list, or something. At least walking around with them concealed would be...(but then how would you know?)

 

I usually carry around some Swiss Army Lint in my pocket.
