You also need bladed weapons. You will run out of ammo or your firearm will jam, and always at the worst possible time.

I suggest a Kwan Dao and a good katana. Quality and cheap are rarely found but this is a true bargain.

Your poll question does not match the Title.
Poll Fail.

I carry one when circumstances dictate it, but that isn't a daily thing.

not really, but i used to carry a knife. ccw to hard to get in CA and i really don't want to dress to have one anyways. i'm a relatively large human so that's for the most part all the deterrent i need.

I carry a pocket knife pretty much every day, but it's for utility. It could be used for self defense, but that's not why I carry it.

As for anything else, a large amount of my time spent outside the house is on university property, where firearms are banned. :(

I used to until I joined the Army. They don't trust us to carry weapons.
