    Fortunately I now live in a nice, sane society, where carrying concealed weapons is illegal. Oddly enough, it's also a society where carrying such weapons is largely pretty unecessary, as our rates of violent crime are extremely low.

    Earlier in my life, I lived in a country where pretty much everyone was armed (I was not). It's a society that has the highest murder rate in the world.

    For now just an ASP. Easier to hide than a fire gun and I know how to use it properly.

    Good grief no I am British:laugh:

    Only thing I do when going back to my car in town when it is dark is hold my car keys between my fingers so if I need to punch someone I can do some damage.

    Oh but I always have my pair of trusty 38DD's they may not be a weapon but they sure are a distraction.:bigsmile:

    When you walk/hike on streets, paths, etc... Do you carry a weapon? If so, what?

    Personally depending on where I am and what I'm doing I carry anything ranging from:

    an Asp (Extend-A-Baton)
    to a hand gun.

    like I am going to tell you..... what part of concealed is not clear to you ? come find out lol

    Crime statistics in the US, or at least Texas, paint an picture exactly opposite of what you described. Violent crime rates have shown a downward trend that is at least somewhat directly proportional to concealed handgun license issuance. But that is a topic for another day. Carry on.

    Kel Tec P11 in my torso holster. You just can't walk/jog in oblivion these days no matter where you are. Be alert and have a plan because they might have one too. I know I do. :smile:

    Do not carry a weapon, and by God's Grace never had a need for one.

    I think we both know that the picture is a little more complex than this.

    But it's a basic fact that countries where being 'armed' is not the norm have lower overall rates of violent crime. Show me anything that disproves that point.... ?

    Hmm ... left jab, right hook, and two killer kicks. Does that count? (Oh, and a good swing with my water bottle could really knock someone for a loop).

    < also in England, so never carrying a weapon. However, if I need to walk for some reason late at night my dog gets an extra walk that day. In the past, travelling in rough areas for college, I had a swiss army knife loose in my pocket. As much as I can legally carry, and better than nothing.

    Knife crime isn't that prevelant, and almost exclusively limited to inter-gang confrontations. 'Random' knifings happen once every few months and I'm in one of the high-crime areas of London.
