Man it's talk like this that really makes my glad I live down here.
I do have a pocket knife in the car, but that's for cutting stuff not stabbing people. Even in my younger years when I used to get into fights, we never used weapons. Also, thankfully, it's illegal to carry weapons.

I'm not paranoid, I don't carry the gun expecting to use it to defend myself from an attacker.
The gun's more for fun than protection, I see it as more of a home defense mechanism.

I live in the nicest big little city in Arizona. ...In one of the nicest, oldest neighborhoods. No worries here.

Nope. And I live in one of the top 10 murder capitols of the U.S. Richmond has a lot of crime and not enough police.

If I'm in my car and someone wants to rob me or steal it, I'll be cooperating fully. Although I do have anti-carjacking enabled on my alarm, so they wouldn't get far before the engine turned off and the alarm went off.

I keep my butterfly knife in my car always, but I am looking to upgrade to a gun. Just don't have the money for a brand new one and I can't find someone selling one that I trust.

If you have a conceal/carry permit...there are no restrictions.

Whatever to happened to just good ol' fashioned fists? lol

I grew up near some bad places and I found just keeping your door locked was good enough. It would have saved my dad one time. I guess I just dont get it..

Im with zone...no

Can you guys not fight at all?..lol

Most of the time when someone pulls a knife the person with the knife ends up getting hurt more than anyone.

And if the guys got a gun you are screwed with a knife and have a better chance on living by keeping your mouth shut and keep the knife hidden.

I am in pre-law and there is a very fine line of killing by self defense..so you guys keep your guns because unless there is no possible way to escape (if you can run away its not self defense, fighting back is murder) thats the only time you can shot someone in self defense. Just because the person has a gun pointed at you doesnt mean you can shot them. Hey you do what ever you want I mean you could always get manslaughter and get off with a few years and probation, may be worth it.
