I am considering getting and carrying some pepper spray along with a pocket knife for defensive backup in case the spray doesn't deter an attacker. Reading this site:

It seems that my State has loosen up some knife carrying laws recently, but some now legal to carry items really makes me feel uncomfortable to do so.
I mean daggers, dirks, and even Bowie knives? I just want a simple keychain pocket knife w/ blade no more then 3" max. Any reasonable person wouldn't consider to be a weapon.
Note this is due to this event yesterday:
