So what do you carry for self defense?

Well, since I live in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey, youre pretty much not allowed to have anything. But I carry a Surefire G2Z with high-output lamp and 2% OC spray. I have a stun gun and a retractable billy club that I bought legally in Delaware, but can't here. Meanwhile the gang problem where I live is steadily getting worse, and of course, the criminals don't care about the laws so they have their guns and what not.

I was just curious as to what other people do in regards to every day self defense.

I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, though right now I don't often carry it.

Nothing...I'm fairly confident that if needed, I could defend myself, having a decent martial arts background...although I haven't practiced in years. If I'm in an unsafe area or something, I have an assortment of butterfly knives I could carry, with a chest strap.

edit: I forgot to mention the laser pointer that I shine in a bad guy's eyes and then run away from. ;)

that was just to lighten the mood, yes. ^_^

Nothing.


I have a few baseball bats in my trunk, but they are used for their intended purpose.

MrsSkoorb: You carry Skoorb around? That must be quite a chore. He should carry you around, or go install a sprinkler system or something.

wtf is everyone so scared of. I can understand if you live in a dangerous area but otherwise I don't get it. Anyway, I carry nothing.
