Best means of legal self protection(<21)
 
Hey,

I usually carry around a switchblade with me for no other reason than to make me feel like I would have control in most situations(most not even close to all).

Now that I know switchblades are illegal apparently in my state(Ohio), I am wondering what the best means of protection is for someone under 21..Hopefully something I could carry with me often and not be in trouble or caught for it.

I'm not really looking for mace or anything, something like a bee-bee type pistol(is there any strong enough to really hurt someone, like atleast stop them from wanting to proceed after me?) or something like that.

Any ideas? Price isn't a big deal or anything but obv not in the 1,000's.

P.S. I did a search for "protection" in the subject of posts and nothing came up so sorry if this has been discussed

Why no mace? Sounds like you should pick up a rape whistle.

if you don't want a gun mace is the way to go. but why do you feel you need to carry? Just leave...

Mace is too pussy. I want something baller and scary as hell. I have no reason to actually want this and do not fear for my life, it just simply gives me better peace of mind.

Carry a golf club with you at all times. I recommend 7-iron.

If you might look conspicuous carrying around a single golf club, you should carry an entire set of golf clubs with you.

So, it must suck to need a knife to keep from getting your lunch money stolen. Stop being a hudge vag ftw?

I'm not sure if you're a pussy and an easy target for bullies, or if you're just an assshole to people so much that they want to beat the piss out of you. Either way I'd suggest stopping though.

Like I said, no actual reason at all to need this, I just want it because it is fun to know you got the pooweeerrr..edit: before everyone takes this wrong..I am just kidding. Actually it is because I have been buying too much cool [censored] for college from poker..I got a 32" lcd and a 800 phone, new laptop, new car, and I seriously think I am a good candidate for getting jumped at sometime even though i go wayy out of my way to try to keep stuff private but i got 4 guys rooming with me with big mouths about my [censored].

P.S. I can't get a concealed license to carry until 21 years old, right?

Sounds like you should definitely become a cop. Power galore to abuse, especially running red lights to get to Denny's ldo. Plus you get to carry a gun.

Aren't you worried about it accidently opening up in your pocket and slicing your dong off?

After careful consideration, I've come up with some awesome ideas:

lol, because I bought nice clothes and stuff and try to keep it quiet but am thinking it won't be very quiet because of my roommates, and me being a little dude am thinking I might be a good candidate for getting jumped makes me sound like a non-awesome person?

I'm not here to measure e-penises with you but I'm not asking this question because I'm a badass but I just happen to make good money for my age at cards(a lot of us do) and bought some nice stuff and don't feel like getting jumped so I asked the question to see if there were any good ideas..

emon87 08-12-2007 02:50 AM

Re: Best means of legal self protection(<21)
 
I make (well, made) a lot at cards and am scrawny and feel no need to carry "protection"

TheProdigy 08-12-2007 02:58 AM

Re: Best means of legal self protection(<21)
 
Ok, I don't think that applies here though, because I obviously think it could be a good idea and if it saves me a [censored] of money and or grief of getting new credit cards/cancelling, etc, then I feel it would be worth it.

I mean what can it hurt? I don't see why showing off that you feel no need to carry something is relevant to why I feel a need to carry some protection

lol, so true. I live in a suburb of CLE but there are some parts of East Cleveland specifically that are just awful.

TheProdigy, there are all kinds of things you can legally carry to help protect yourself: CCW (21+), some knives, mace, carabiner (as long as you never actually say you're carrying it for SD purposes), etc.

anyway if you really want serious answers you will probably have to go somewhere else. glocktalk.com and ar15.com are both good.

btw the 'bee-bee type pistol' sounds like a really, really, really awful idea. If you really need to carry a gun, wait until you're 21 where you can legally carry something that packs a punch. Having a pea-shooter just sounds like the worst of both worlds. (poor if any stopping power and all the liabilities of carrying any type of firearm, even if legally).

It's obviously not your ideal self-defense piece but it carrys easy and it makes for a good keychain.

Think brass knuckles...

Kids today are nothing but punks, sissy fightin',
so quick to pick up a gun. You scared to take
an ass whippin'. This is what makes you a man.
When I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed.

You win some, you lose some.

But you live...
You live to fight another day.

I have gone with a fire golem for the past couple of years and I really feel like it has been effective. He is very reasonably mannered and is a great wingman. And when [censored] hits the fan he is always willing to throw down if need be.

I worry about people shooting through him though to get to me. Although I have not run into that problem in recent history so I am not worried.
