Answer 4

I used to in SA. a Webley and Scott snub nose 38 with open-barrel mechanism- it had been my father's before me. I also used a cheapo Taurus. In Britain I have my knopkierie by the door. Here in the UK you can't carry weapons and with the amount of knife crime going on the police are paranoid about anything. I did do Thai Boxing and Karate however and also know a bit of Kaapse Kung Fu!!!! Hosh!!!

Answer 5

I dont carry weapons..or walk around in dark haunches at night!

Answer 6

Those look like pretty serious weapons!

I used to carry pepper spray and my sister had a fog horn type thing, not really weapons but they are supposed to give you time to get away. From experience I can vouch that a nice pointy umbrella helps too...

My best friend on the other hand is really hardcore and loves weapons. She knows how to fight with knives and has some fancy blade, she also has a 9mm and when she is on duty (police reservist) she carries an R-5. Not bad for a pretty petite blue-eyed blonde with two degrees :-) dynamite comes in small packages.

Answer 7

I left the country, but still carry the same ol one: my pen!
