When traveling somewhere new, do you bring a weapon for protection? (Page 2)

[Fuentes]

No I bring a knife. I don't want to be hassled on other states and counties CCW laws and gun laws unless i was in NC, AZ, or Texas, then I would not worry.

[Apple1996]

Yeah I live in NC

[Fuentes]

Then your lucky cause they don't trip over there lol

[hyperben]

nope, unless you are very competant with said weapon there is a higher chance of it being taken from you and used against you.

I used to but realised that setting off with a "what if" kind of confrontational mindset was holding me back.

[Sleevey]

Barton, or f bat are always in my truck. But if you use a bat make sure you have a ball glove and baseball with it because some places treat a lone bat in the truck as a illegal weapon

I have an aluminum baseball bat that had the end broken off. I used my grinding wheel to put an edge on it, added a lanyard and spraypainted it black to match my truck. It lives under the front seat.

I carry around a knife but that’s not really for self defence, more for cutting things open etc. It’s illegal to carry around weapons here.

[ArtemisSilver]

Depends where you are going. As a rule you'll want to have a pistol where legal and at minimum a folding knife or a kubaton.

If you're somewhere really restricted a roll of quarters in your fist can make for a nasty punch.

I have a taser and dog attack spray. I also travel with my dog 90% of the time. Most people aren’t dumb enough to approach when they see a dog

[Phoenix98]

Only time I ever travel is when me and my buddy take weekend road trips around the state.

he has his pistol and I usually have a k-bar and a pocket knife.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah, I would bring a legal weapon as long as you got a license to carry a gun I would bring one or a chemical mace, pepper spray, etc. .. You can never be too careful in this day and age.

I carry a snub-nosed revolver everywhere I go in my concealed carry purse, even to the corner store. Being raped and beaten makes you realize that personal defense is more important than you previously believed.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'm always armed: my brain.

But as a responsible weapons owner I carry it concealed, and only use it aggressively, when self-defense requires it :)

[Fireguy17]

A lot depends on what you are taking and the laws governing that where you are going.

You could possibly be setting yourself up for trouble.

[wingattebaby16]

my man bought me a.38 pistol, six shot.

I should have gotten the 5 shot coz it is fits in my hand better.

[CrazyGirl2]

I can’t, I’m not old enough to carry or even transport my weapons! They stay in my home for protection.

[Kaneki05]

I have no clue about US, but my personal opinion and country say no to carrying weapons nvm needing them to travel.

[GoesbyAndrew]

I don't have a firearm atm because of circumstances regarding mental health. But I absolutely would, you never know what kind of danger you might run in to. The same can also be applied for home defense as well.

[Juxtapose]

I don't like caring lethal weapons with me because if I get in a fight that doesn't call for a lethal weapon and then I get knocked down or whatnot then that weapon could be used against me.


Often times if you bring a weapon to a fight you're going to have to use it.

[convo_king89]

you should bring a gun and condoms for protection

[Apple1996]

Def no condoms I want a baby lol

[Likes2drive]

Not really but women could probably bring mace

[Apple1996]

I usually carry pepper spray in my car

[Likes2drive]

That’s probably a good idea

[Th3ft]

I don’t own a gun yet but I am going to soon! I want to be able to protect myself if I have the need.
