how well armed are you?

[Dream59]

Got a bat in the car, a fireplace poker in the house, hydrochloric acid in my supersoaker, a microwave oven so I can shoot microwaves at people, my son has an on call gas dispenser and black belt in tae kwon do, my daughter does goofy faces pretty good and will kill you with laughter, my wife will nag you to death.....how am I doin so far?

Do you have a concealed carry permit for your wife? That is more cruel than just shooting someone.

Actually I don't. Thought I'd offer waterboarding or the nagging.

At home in my reach at this moment I have a knife. I have my hands and feet. If I'm walking I carry a small solid metal flashlight and a sturdy nail file, I also have a heavy umbrella, if I'm going into an area I consider more unsafe. I use to carry a knife but I prefer weapons that I can't be arrested for carrying but are effective and I'm proficient in their use. If you are uncomfortable with a certain weapon, it is better not to have it. Hesitation can allow that same weapon to be used against you.

 

[butters]

apart from my gob and quick wits, i have fingernails on the ends of my handies which come complete with armies...

k, keys in my bag, eyebrow tweezers and small sharp scissors, a comb with a long pointy handle and a spray perfume - oh, and my phone which has been employed before.

indoors, any array of bleach/toilet descaler, household sprays, a clothes iron, gardening tools (secateurs/loppers/saw), hammers and screwdrivers and pliers, pots and pans that can be used to whack someone or something, and kitchen knives. shoes, hangers, masses of books i could lob at a person, heavy wooden picture frames, electric lamps, electric cables... the list is endless, really, even down to the cans in the cupboard and big potatoes in the fridge. of course, i don't need them and they all serve their own purpose. outdoors in the garden? take your pick from rocks, logs/branches to a particularly thorny scrambling rose.

I choose the board.

 

[bluemuse]

I can give very, very dirty looks. And I can scream like a banshee.

 

[DesEsseintes]

No weapons at all. But then I live in a civilized part of a relatively (though diminishingly) civilized country. Just under 200 violent offences (that includes even scratches and bruises) in the last year, or considerably less than one a day, in an area of just under 600 square miles.

[Lorilei]

There's a BB gun around here somewhere. I have pepper spray and a really loud whistle.

I don't like guns, I don't trust most people around guns, so I choose not to have any.

Tell me where and I'm moving.

 

[DesEsseintes]

Tell me where and I'm moving.

You and a million others. We'll keep the location of The Shire to ourselves, I'm afraid. Don't want to be overrun by those nasty Orcs.

 

[doctor_insanus]

I have a baseball bat and a bo. I suppose the Mag-Lite I keep in the car could be used as a weapon.

[Joeybagadonuts]

I have a revolver and a shotgun which collect dust.

However, I never go any place without my flame thrower.

I'm not an Orc, I'm a dodo.

when you're out in the street?
in the car?
in your home?
right this second?

Does the ice axe count?

 

[spacekowboy]

Shotgun, rifles, and pistols are in the safe at all times unless I'm taking them out for a reason. I don't carry on me. I am big enough and smart enough that I stay out of most scuffles. If it comes to it however I will use my fists before anything else.

Until the zombie apocalypse comes then it's open season on all you undead fuckwads.

 

[1sickbastard]

Does the ice axe count?

If you use it to inflict harm on another, then yes.

If you use it to inflict harm on another, then yes.

So, my air rifle that is used to punch holes in paper is NOT a weapon.

And the machete just inside the driver's door of the 4WD that I use to cut brush with is NOT a weapon.

You see where all this is going?

 

[knottygirl]

A S&W 686 revolver, a Rottweiler, and a pepper spray key chain.

 

[Lancecastor]

Interestingly, people tend to be more afraid of knives than guns.

In Canada, you can carry a knife if you have a reason to use it for something other than cutting people up.

Otherwise, it's considered a prohibited weapon.

 

[RjThoughts]

With quick reflexes, better crisis management skills, and the ability to use what ever I have handy as a weapon.

Guns? For protection? Am I too scared to live life and need something "just in case"?

 

[BoyNextDoor]

I live in a pretty good neighborhood. No weapons.

 

[Disgustipated]

Nothing. However it was funny when my girl and I got into an argument with a wannabe MMA fighter at a mall kiosk. He kept looking at my busted foot like he was going for it.

No.
Please, spell it out for me.

Anything within reach is a potential weapon.
