Do you feel the need to be prepared to defend yourself where you live?

Theres other ways to protect yourself.

What ways? And why?

What ways? And why?

Perhaps by keeping yourself to yourself. We have fists, feet etc dont we? Id prefer to not go to jail because I have a weapon.

Suppose it's more of a UK issue to have a weapon.
And also, keeping to yourself doesn't mean you won't get attacked.

Here, you can carry a knife at any age, any size, open or closed carry. Guns are legal to conceal/open at 18.

Its a big issue here. People are often found with weapons and arrested and sometimes charged.

That's unfortunate because the vast majority are responsible gun owners if it were to happen here.

That's why you use the weapon for self-defense instead of going around killing people because you can.

I'd rather not have to defend myself against someone with a gun with my bare hands.

@Intersocial; It's a lot better to be paranoid than unprepared.

A knife ain't gonna help you much if someone's going to shoot you.

Lol you can easily diffuse a situation of people beating your ass just by whipping out a knife, people are scared of knives more than they are a gun because of the mutilation it will cause.

You would be arrested and charged, you are not allowed to use force that is disproportionate to the danger you are faced, i.e. if someone punches you and you stab them you will be charged. There's a line between getting a black eye and fatal injury.

Your bare hands ain't gonna help you much if someone's going to shoot you either.

So let's start walking around the streets with an M16A2/4 just to be sure?

Conceal carry a pistol. Plenty do it here.

I feel like having a weapon on you will cause more harm than good. Just my opinion though.
