Carrying protection , knifes

Nah. Heavy enough tool and a healthy swing for torso. Bang their ribs good and hard. Difficult to stay on the attack when breathing takes priority.

Basically swing for the cheap seats!

 

Fenix PD36R flashlight. 2 of them. 1 for each front pocket. Clips in place. 1600 lumen. Bright enough to blind. Strobe button. Like a roll of coins in each fist. Long enough to protrude from your grip for jabbing ouch spots. Rechargeable. Not a weapon. It's a flashlight. I do not work for Fenix.

 

Well yeah the only rule in a fight is win.

 

My EDC (every day carry)
9mm
spare mag
folding knife
tactical pen

The TacPen is an actual working pen, but it's strictly for self defense.
Flat thumb top for grip/thrust.. very sharp point on tip.
I can drive that thing through a sheet of plywood if I needed to.
You can get them for as little as $10-$15, but I wouldn't recommend it.
The good ones usually run in the $50-$150 range.
Every cop I've ever disclosed it to has handled it and loved it.

 

The crackheads in W-Memphis come to mind. They are even brazen/dumb enough to follow you behind the trailer and out of sight...

 

I carry this and it can't be classified as a weapon in a lawsuit like the tactical ball point pen can.
This thing is a slashing weapon for the face and eyes. It's a stainless steel ball point pen and perfectly legal to carry.
