Do you carry a weapon for self defense, if so, what?

Albeit A knife, Baron, Pepper spray, Taser, Firearm, etc

Personally I carry a Glock 19 Gen 4

Glocks are shit, the only reason why they are popular is because the NYPD started using them over their heavier trigger configuration 30 years ago. During the Army sidearm trials back in the mid 80's, those who were conducting the tests wouldn't even pass the gun past phase one and highly criticized it. If the NYPD had gone with the Beretta instead, Glock would have folded under and we would have never heard of them in the civilian world.

@NativeOregonian my Dad got me into liking them as he was an officer and they used the 17 for years. Honestly I was almost that guy and bought a 5.7. And right now I’ve beenconsodering something chambered in .45. Not a USP though. Too bulky

No. Despite loving and growing up where I do, I've never felt the need to. I've never felt unsafe here and when we go out, I'm pretty sure at some point I taught most of the kids I see.

@SW-User I live in Indiana and I feel safe pretty much everywhere in the state besides where I live which is South Bend which is the most crime ridden city in the state.

Just my fists.
@QuixoticSoul Ha. I was thinking that.

@SStarfish situational awareness is key in most cases.

My attitude

If I were to carry a weapon, it would likely be a bat or a walking stick. Perhaps it harkens back to my Irish ancestry.

I rely primarily on my wits to avoid the need for a weapon.
I never go anywhere without a knife. As for a gun, only if I am somewhere permitted by law.
fists, elbows, knees and a boxcutter.

Very unlikely I would need a weapon here
