I have the capacity to remove oxygen from any part of the ship, also disable the artificial gravity, I have no need for weapons.
Pro tip:
Stop cutting off the flow of oxygen to your brain.

Always wear gloves at a crime scene?

I'm confused

My bad. It's Rule #9

I carry a Spyderco Endura in ZDP-189, which I use as a tool but would be an effective weapon. I often bring a jo as a "walking stick" into work. I have a tactical tomahawk (SOG F001) but it's not something readily concealed. I'd like a RMJ Kestrel someday which can be hidden and due to how the laws are written in NY is a legal carry.

Ahhh... rule 9 makes more sense.

Right now I just carry a knife. Hopefully my ccw goes through soon.

I would hate to live where all of these yes people do, such a lawless uncivilized society you must live in and are helping to create.

Usually a SOG Flash I but it's primarily a utility knife, though I guess I could use it if I had to. Sometimes I carry a Cold Steel Recon and while it's bigger, I still carry it for utility.

On a similar note, I'd hate to be as naive and sheltered as soon people seem to be.

I work in a city at a place with lots of narcotics. People have been shot dead then robbed. I have not had the luxury of being naive.

I am promoting incivility by carrying a gun? Wow. Tell me how am I creating an uncivilized society by carrying a gun.

Oi! Paranoia and delusion are not diseases, they are mental health conditions.
Tell me what mental health condition allowed me to be assaulted in my own living room by a burglar?

I thought He said beat your swords into plowshares.

who...neckbeard or God?

Lets not turn this into a thread where we misquote the Old Testament and take it out of context.

Jesus ordered his apostles to take up arms when it was called for. That's good enough for me.
