    To carry or not to carry OC Spray, that is the question.

    Hmm. I guess I wasn't clear enough in my last response. I wasn't speaking of a fistfight or a barfight. I was talking about defending myself against someone who made it clear they were going to attack me. Perhaps a street person, perhaps an EDP. Perhaps a case of roadrage. OC spray...

    To carry or not to carry OC Spray, that is the question.

    Yep. OC is an edge which is 'no harm no foul'. If I have to defend myself with bare hands my attacker is going to be in much worse shape. And that usually means a much longer talk with the police......

    Open or concealed for work in NY/NYC?

    As a resident of NY you need to write your representatives and Governor Cuomo. Tell them you want the knife laws changed and clarified. And made uniform statewide. The gravity knife laws are being twisted in NYC to extort money from retailers and punish innocent citizens. ANY normal lockblade...

    Full Auto .25/9mm Mailed To Your Door No FFA No Registration

    The high end airguns are spendy -- but you can shoot in your basement or backyard. For all except the most powerful ones of course. :D And the ammo costs pay for themselves quickly. How else can you get 500 rounds of the best match-grade ammo for under $15?? The place to get up to speed on...

    To carry or not to carry OC Spray, that is the question.

    OC may not incapacitate a determined attacker. But it sure slows them down in my experience. Wasn't it just a little harder for both of you to complete those actions after being sprayed? Its a lot easier to defend yourself against someone who's having trouble breathing and keeping their...

    Baton Training?

    Cosmo- if it's just a few specific neighborhood dogs that you sort of like, I'd pay a visit off the bike with some doggie treats. Talk to the owner and make nice with the dogs. Then keep some treats in your pocket. For other more general dogs I'd keep a stream-type OC spray and use it...

    Using a cane

    Feeling vulnerable is what will make you look like prey. With 3 foot hardwood stick in your hand and a pistol on your hip you should project a certain confidence--that usually causes predators to look elsewhere. There are some good links in this thread...

    Large Folding Knives -- A Little Perspective

    Got a picture of that sheath Hiwayman? I picked up one of those the other day, thinking it'd be good to keep in my hip pocket. Figured on making a wallet type sheath for it. As for a 3.5'' soddy being large, you should show them an Opinel 12 -- I'd guess the big Cold Steel folders would...

    Build your own crossbow

    I wouldn't shoot an 80 lb crossbow indoors, if you miss, it's gonna go through your walls, and maybe your neighbor's (or neighbors :uhoh:)as well. For a target, I'd use one of these ...

    Dog attack.

    Myself, I'd ask If he could reach in the truck while the dog was 10 feet away, why not climb inside to avoid the attack? What was his plan if the dog didn't break off? The sjambok depends on pain compliance, it hurts to be struck with it, but doesn't really do much damage. Why the...

    Do You Keep a Steel Pointed Pen in Your Shirt Pocket?

    If it's clipped to your breast pocket, an opponent can pull it out more easily than you can. And when they grab it, it's properly positioned for icepick style stabs to your face and neck. :uhoh: Keep it under your shirt flap or in your pants pocket. :D

    So. Almost got into a fight today.

    Sit back down, pull the cell phone, dial 911. He's not looking at you anymore, and you're just another guy with a phone to his head. Except you didn't enhance your defence, you literally tied your own hands (into your pockets). Try it with a friend -- I bet you can't pull your hands out before...

    22 Just Ain't Hackin' It!

    I agree with JWarren. But for rabid coons or coyotes I'd go with a 12 gauge and a Hastings Metro choke extension. Unwieldy, but no louder than slamming a car door. And you don't have to worry about eyeshots or even being particularly accurate.

    General consensus of Cold Steel?

    Broke a Bushman? Isn't that one piece of steel?

    Do They Still Make These?

    What a joke. Banned because of hyped advertising, and an episode of The Equalizer Even worse than banning slungshots -- at leastse were used to hurt someone within the last 250 years

    An example of the use of force issues that are brought up in civil actions

    Hmmm, two cops, guy with knife 20' away. Might he still be alive if one cop had a Taser? Something for all the Taser-bashers to think on.

    US-Soil Plot Foiled?

    Really? Just like we pulled out of Germany? Or Japan? Or South Korea? Or you mean like Great Britain pulled out of Ireland? And as for the 'Dix Six' they weren't home-grown. And it's lucky they were inexperienced, or they would have gone with Molotov's and semiauto rifles. If one...
