no, he's not a long shot tea part cantidate. they make pocket knives. yeah, i can use stupid acronyms, too.
anyway, i actually wanted to make more a self-defense thread WITHOUT the freaking politics. we had a recent knife thread and there's a gun thread that i was continuing but i think the flamewar killed it.
personally, i do not trust myself with a gun on my person at all times, and i find it to be an unnecessary risk/inconvenience. this is just my opinion, no one knows my exact situation and no one need refute it, anyway.
i do, however, like to carry a knife, especially since i play disc golf, trail run, and other activities that often take place in the middle of the woods, where sketchy people can and have been.
old and busted with new hotness.
new knife was still only thirty bucks (whereas gerber and others now selling assisted opens want 50+ for inferior knives), and despite it's gargantuan appearance, it is VERY functional. handle lacks contour but is still comfortable and very grippy. and i'm sure the pointed end would work well as a glass breaker. blade is only 3.125", the ken onion is 2.25". but you can freakin' feel the mass of it when the spring flings it open.
speaking of which, the retention (as well as the aforementioned opening) is excellent. though i felt the safety on my old knife was unneeded, on this one even kershaw agreed to let it go.
i guess i could just carry pepper spray, but, you know, i have this annoying dick that somehow prevents that ...no offense to anyone who carries it. good pepper spray is serious shit, and is not to be taken lightly.
as mentioned in gun thread, i bought a maverick 88 for the home.
from the last YAGT where i was trying to demonstrate just how big a 'security' shotgun still was (other two guns are airsoft replicas 😉):
how serious do you guys take your personal safety, honestly? i consider myself paranoid but reasonable. if i had a sig-o i would probably get her some retardedly overpowered pepper spray to keep in her purse, but for me, a gun in the closet and a knife in the pocket (especially a beefy, tip-up assisted open) gives me piece of mind.
edit: in an effort to not continue the big gun flame thread, let me add on this post about the gun-
anyone have recs on a replacement stock? price seems to vary greatly and i don't to overpay and/or buy crap.
