    On-campus knife carry- how small is small enough?

    I believe the university does. I haven't asked them. I sort of assumed they'd tell me "no" just to be safe. I suppose I could vaguely ask them about a small pocketknife/multitool on a keychain. Understandable. I'm mainly looking for something on a keychain because 1) it'll probably be small...

    On-campus knife carry- how small is small enough?

    I will answer that, haha. No, I do not want a weapon. I want a cutting implement that can comfortably fit on my key ring. I would get a Leatherman squirt, but as I said above, all of the tools are redundant with my blade-less Skeletool, so I'd rather go with something like the Spyderco ladybug...

    On-campus knife carry- how small is small enough?

    Thanks for the replies! It is a state school. Carrying a small knife does not conflict with any local/state ordinances/laws. You're right that its more of a policy question than a legal one. I'm also asking for your best judgement/opinions because I know there's not a concrete answer. I'm not...

    On-campus knife carry- how small is small enough?

    I currently attend a university that prohibits weapons on campus. Long story short, I'd really like to carry some sort of knife solely for utility purposes, specifically something I can throw on my keychain. I thought about getting a Leatherman Squirt, but I always have a Skeletool w/ bit kit...

    LCP II full disassembly

    I recently picked up an LCP II. I have some other Cerakote projects in the works so I figured I might as well refinish the grip frame and barrel of my LCP. However, I'm having a heck of a time getting the two pins out that retain the rail insert in the grip frame. I've watched videos for the...

    CCW/OC Practicality of 3" vs 1.87" LCR?

    Since I obtained my CHP I've carried my Glock 26 IWB whenever possible and I've found it to be very comfortable; I don't specifically plan on replacing the G26 for everyday IWB carry. The other day, however, I went hiking and I OC'd my Glock in a Bianchi UM92 holster on my backpack's waste...

    youth and shooting

    I grew up with relatively limited exposure to the outdoors. I went camping a few times a year, and went on a good hike once a month maybe. I fished once when I was a kid and I've never been hunting. My dad and I started shooting recreationally when I was in my early teens (and I spend at least...

    Gun death statistic

    You're right, I did miss that point.

    Gun death statistic

    That would mean that the average US gun owner has two guns. I think the average gun owner in most European countries would own closer to one gun on average. Right off the bat that cuts the murders per gun in half for the US gun owners, assuming all other variables are equal. It does tip the odds...

    Gun death statistic

    Be careful how you argue. If the friends are smart, they'll point out that most people who own guns own more than one, so of course the number of deaths per gun are low; a collector with a hundred guns will likely be [at most] responsible for one or two deaths (to be very morbidly blunt). What...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    Obviously there's not a clear-cut moment where it become justifiable for someone to shoot a dog. That's up to an individual (and possibly eventually a judge) to decide. Having read the responses in this thread so far I'd tend to say that anyone who gets bit by a dog (of a threatening size)...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    danez71 Thanks for another informative response! I'll definitely consider this advice in the future. It prevents escalating the situation, and will more than likely be enough to keep myself safe while preventing a DGU. Thanks for the link; it was really interesting to read about that...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    Thanks for the story, sequins. Wow, although your situation sounds scarier than mine, it is very similar. I think I'm starting to conclude that an imminent mauling needs to be necessary before defense against a dog is justifiable to me. If something like this happens again in the future I think...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    DanLee Stupid question, but doesn't the bark make it aggressive as opposed to play? Haha as for shooting at the owner, he caught up with me afterwards and was very apologetic (I was a bit p---ed so I decided to keep on descending [if this happened again I'd be more prepared to talk with him...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    Awesome response, danez71, thank you! I agree with that, although I had my arm raised in an attempt to distance the dog from my face. I believe it would have potentially bit my face- instead it got my deltoid/tricep (to be specific). I agree that it was playful at first and that I had no...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    Thanks for the response. Although defending myself from the dog wouldn't have been out of question, I definitely wouldn't spend any time or money on a lawsuit like that. Also, one (probably important) thing I forgot to mention in my original post is that I didn't expect to walk away with any...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    I'd estimate the dog at around 45-50 lbs, so it definitely wasn't a puppy but it seemed to be young and not fully-grown. I think that, had I been carrying, I would have drawn after it bit me and chosen not to fire. I'm sure there are some who would argue against drawing a gun on a dog of that...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    I didn't think the dog was aggressive until it barked and instantly bit me; I've never owned a dog so I thought it was just being playful. I believe I would have used my knife in self defense if it had it continued to attack me. What if it its not really a "large" dog, but a medium-sized...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    Thanks for your input. Had I carried, I would have been carrying openly anyway due to practicality. (As far as I'm concerned its not possible to carry concealed when hiking with a pack that requires support around the waste). I hadn't applied for my permit because I didn't feel quite ready yet...

    What do you think you would have done? (Aggressive dog)

    I'm just curious about everyone's input on a particular experience I had last summer... Story time: I was up on a 14,000 peak on a sunny early-summer day in Colorado; it's my goal to climb all 58. It was during a weekday on a not-particularly-crowded peak (La Plata). On the summit, an...
