Answer 1

well, first of all i would check with your local laws for what you can and cant carry legally, you might be surprised with what is considers illegal and what you can carry on you without any ramifications... just for instance, in my state, it is legal to carry any size knife concealed or not.... but it is illegal to have anything double edged (unless its a dive knife), butterfly or switchblade.  which means someone carrying a crappy switchblade to look like a badass is breaking the law, and i could carry a machete on my side legally... so yea.. check local laws.. now that thats been said.. here are some options

knives- dont expect to ever be in a knife fight without getting cut.. even the best knife fighters have scars to show, if you want something concealable, and 3 or 4 inch pocket folding kinife is something fairly PC, and is legal in most places... i used to carry a 5 inch voyager from cold steel... it was an awesome knife and when i pulled it out it looked i was pulling a bowie out of my pocket.. but of course people would give me bad looks if i needed to use it to open a box or soemthing...

fixed blades are stronger and depending on the knife can be pulled out faster than a folder... but its a burdon to carry around.. i doubt you really want to carry a knife on your belt everywhere you go...

extendable batons- i have a few of these, they are pretty awesome, a little awkward to carry on you and has no other use to carry on you other than defense... the ASP brand ones can take alot of abuse, i would suggest taking escrima classes if this is the route you want to go...

pepper spray- it may not take out some one rampaging towards you, but it can take the fight out of someone... if they are hopped up on drugs or drunk though it might not faze them... not really useful if things get physical

stun gun-  again.. if the guy is hopped up on drugs it wont do much... and if its a cheaper underpowered on then its even less likely to stop someone... but its better than nothing

tazer- like a stun gun... but it fires from a pistol looking thing so you can be 15 ft away form someone and use it.. pretty expensive though

kuboton- look these up.. not really intimidating so it wont scare the guy away... but using it right and the guy wont know what hit him...

there are alot more out there but i'm kind of tired... if i had to choose one to carry i would go with the extendable baton.. it has that factor to intimidate when its deployed... i carry mine if i'm going into a sketchy area... but i carry my knife everywhere else

Answer 2

Anything hard, manageable and concealable.

Or one of these....

This would get your teeth back for sure.

It's concealable, manageable, and intimidating when you press the button and that sucker extends.

Steel toe boots are always a good addition to your personal arsenal. You can kick a knee cap off with them $hits.

EDIT: Stay away from knives and guns. You want to defend yourself, not go to prison for life.

Answer 3

go to www.thecollectorsedge.com they have pocket knives, daggers, pepper spray, and samurai (spelling) swords just for fun ;)

Answer 4

a tranquilizer handgun

Answer 5

Telescopic steel baton.

I'll take that against knife any day.

Easy to carry around and one flip will triple the length and reach of any knife.

Answer 6

In most states you can't carry a telescopic baton, concealed or not.  It is considered an illegal club/weapon.  Falls up there with brass knuckles, switchblades, etc. (Texas Penal Code 46.02, Unlawful Carrying Weapons, Class A Misdimeanor).

CHECK YOUR STATE'S PENAL CODE OR CRIMINAL LAW.  It will state what you can LEGALLY carry.

Answer 7

Glock 17, haha

I prefere the Desert Eagle though

Havent gotten any of them yet though!

Magnum reaserch also has their new project called the BFR (BIG ******* REVOLVER) You can use it as a fricin sniper rifle! and its a hand gun!

Answer 8

Throwing needles would work but you have to understand how to use them, one of those chains with the wieghts would work good.  Distance an you can attack.

Answer 9

ASK FEDOR

Answer 10

A mace with George Bush's picture on it

Answer 11

first it is defense,

the best weapon is intelligence.

if you learn kempo or mag krava you will learn how to defend yourself from people with knives, or guns, or sticks..

intelligence because you know you shouldn't have been where you were.

don't  carry a knife, 1. it is illegal and it is a felony.

                                  2. if you don't know how to use, some one will take it from you and spank you with it.

keep your eyes open and cross the streets, and never be afraid to run.

Answer 12

We did an experiment at our school one time with three masters and three adult high rank black belts Three of us were former military trained as well. Two were 82nd Airborne, and one USN SEAL. We used chalk knives and We spent the afternoon knife fighting to try to determine the best knife tactics. It turned out that in every case when both had knives both were severely injured enough to cause only the problem of who would die first. When one was unarmed and focused on disarming this strategy was workable more than two thirds of the time. Using a short stick or rolled up magazine as a defensive weapon while focusing on disarming worked nearly all of the time. Our conclusion was at least for us to leave the knife at home. Learn some avoidance strategy like hang out in a different neighborhood. Brandishing a knife will not likely deter many who are willing to use their knife on you. Taking their knife may impress them enough to leave you to your side of the street though.;)

BTW listen to Benji.

Escrima sticks.
