|  | | | Guys, if you are really concerned with safety, don't bring a knife! They are useless in a 3 second mugging! Bring a blunt weapon that will stop your attacker instantly! A knife may kill them eventually (also putting you in man slaughter) but you may get shot or stabbed or something. Blunt all the way. Render the attacker unconscious or atleast stunned enough to escape.
I recommend a stought crescent wrench. Practical for just about everything! From repairing to impairing, nothing beats a crescent wrench!

Violence begets violence. If you pull out some baton or little knife, the odds of you getting out are way slimmer than if you
a) exercise some common sense/respect
b) hightail it out of there
All we're doing is exploring...no need to escalate the situation. Besides, what are the cops gonna say if you get busted, and they frisk you and find a knife or baton? Goooooodbye credibility.
|
Well I don't pull it out unless I have to. Brandishing weapons escalates a situation and I'd rather walk away w/o a fight.
As for credibility? Having my baton on me is for self-defense, especially in Detroit. I don't think a cop is going to have a problem with that. If I had gone into a secured building, tripped an alarm and got busted, then it damages credibility.
A side note on knives, I was arrested and had my pocket knife on me which has a 4" blade on it and the cops didn't say a word about it.

| | | | Hey dont know if this has been said before but, i usually hate bringing a backpack with me. Its just one more thing that could get snagged on like a peice of metal or something. I usually bring just a flashlight, even then when im running i hate having it in my pants cause i like full mobility with out my pants feeling shorter when jumping, and running. A camera if i bring one i usually hide under my sweatshirt when im running so i dont scratch it diving through windows and over pipes.

Check local laws and don't bring a machete or a Ka-Bar or some 'combat knife', but all the times I've been searched (which is more then a few) the most I have gotten is a "why do you have so many knives?" but since I only carry pocket knives they really aren't anything odd to see.. although I had a cop steal one when I was younger and didn't know the laws, But what can you do with Dbag cops..
also keep in mind about conceal carry laws.. it can be perfectly legal to have a sword hung over your back yet be arrested for a mini swissarmy knife, go go retarded law making...
Also if you are going to carry something print out the law on it, I've found the majority of cops don't know the laws (at least the exacts of them) and just kinda make'em up as they go..
