Haha, I'm sorry but why the fuck would you carry nunchucks while UEing? If someone threatened me with those I would just start laughing.

You'd laugh until they started whacking you with them...
I not only carry weapons, but also FULL riot gear. You know, just in case.

However, the pros outweigh the ons in carrying the nunchaku on my person when undertaking UE at night, and/or in an unknown structure.

I bet that works real well, until you meet someone a little bigger and a little cleverer than you, who takes said chucks and inserts them longways into your anus.

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |

I'm quite aware of this, and hopefully, I never need to be in a situation that makes me use said nunchaku and get busted as well.

Assuming you don't bash yourself with them...
I could disarm you of your weapon with a stout stick or tripod.
If your proficient in any form of self defense, that is enough, and will be needed anyway if your nunchaku get snatched by a savvy street fighter.
I pack a gun if I feel the need for self defense and HAVE to go somewhere.
I don't have to explore or trespass. That's not a valid reason to kill someone over. Lethal weapons are meant to kill and should do so effectively. Nunchaku are hit or miss, and could be inadvertently lethal. A small, large caliber hand gun is effective at 10 feet or more. Easier to carry as well.

Well baby, you have never explored my bedroom.
Posted by ActionSatisfaction Esq.
I use my hiking backpack for exploring and I'm too lazy to take the cans of mace out, but they're not illegal to have anyway so it doesn't really matter.
|
I guarantee you that, in today's atmosphere in the US, and with a pissed off enough cop who has had a shitty day, it is entirely possible that cans with pressurized contents could be defined as explosive devices, you therefore declared a terrorist, and subsequently stripped of rights to defend yourself against the charges. That's fucking crazy, but it is entirely possible.

I'm totally still waiting to see the AWESOMENESS that could only be explored with martial arts, a knife or a gun - in this thread and in EVERY OTHER ONE for the last four years.
Except, no one's posting anything like that. Not one single pic or location (where the primary goal has been exploration) where you could lay the claim 'I needed some weapons for this place' has been posted to refute our argument of 'weapons are dumb'.
It seems I have posed a question that no 'well I take a knife / gun / tank with me because' GI JOE Explorer can meaningfully respond to.

It's not a matter of "WHEN" have I needed a weapon, it's "WHAT IF" I do. There is no way that I want to be defenceless if some crack or meth head decides he wants my camera.
I have never needed to use a weapon, but I sure as hell won't be without one if the day does come that I need to defend myself, friends, or property.
I will say I don't agree with packing heat though, bringing a gun UEing or anywhere with you for that matter is just asking for trouble.

Your right, because there's no way you could use intelligence, speed, stealth or just plain good planning to avoid a crack addled rock-brain.

We are from 2 completely different areas. In Scotland, all you have to worry about are drunks, in Canada the Meth and Crack heads are a little more coordinated and persistant in getting what they want and doing it any way they can to get their next hit.
I am not out brandishing a weapon when I go UEing. I carry a Baton, that I have never removed. The fact of the matter is, you never know. And I am not taking any chances.

| | | | Now when I think about it, I once had an assault rifle with me when I explored some old fortifications and an artillery battery as a backup...
If I could not escape in a situation in which I would have to part with my belongings (which I doubt since drug users aren't the healthiest people), I think I would be better off giving them what they want. All the stuff I carry while exploring is insured against all unforeseeable accidents, after all.

Unless I'm much mistaken (and I freely admit that I may be), you wouldn't need to use them to get a criminal charge. Seeing as they are prohibited weapons, you just have to be in possession of them.

Uh, don't be so fucking stupid. We have hundreds of years of evolutionary violence from our native chav and ned population. We have teams of scrappers that clear whole buildings of the copper it contains beating anyone who stands in their way into submission; security included.
We have coke, crack, heroine and well, people who just like violence and gun culture for fun. Then of course, there's the religious war that goes on in Scotland - people killing other people simply for the football team they support or which imaginary friend they pray to.
Remembering of course, that my second home IS Canada - and I can say for a fact I'd chose a gang shoot out at the docks of Halifax Nova Scotia over a football brawl in Glasgow, Old Scotland any time - night or day.
