Do you have a weapon?

But on the other hand, those without weapons, well.. The intruder simply uses their own. So quite little difference it actually makes no?

 

Now that is intuitive

 

Numerous-Rider and I also carry matching Hunting Knives. Here you can carry them if they are exposed.
At home-we have other scary things for would be robbers etc.
We also live in Bear Country here and when we hike up in the mountains carry firearms.
Neither of us hunts though.

 

My dogs detour any would be intruders, and the one who did make it in met his demise from our killer attack cat

 

if somebody broke into your houses, would you like, question them first? It sounds silly, but then again it would be silly to just go on stabbing them

 

Honestly, I don't know how I would react. I would have to be put in the situation before I could say. I would hope that they just had they wrong house and meant to break in to the neighbors.

 

my pride and joy is a 70lb draw compound bow, wich I know how to use verry well. I could shoot a dogs nose off a flee at 50 yards with it.....poor doggy

I also have few swords, throwing knives, bowie knive, folding pocket knives. etc

I dont own any fire arms, exept for an ornate antique russian millitary rifle. it was likly made in the early 1800s and has been passed down in my famly for generations.
my grandmothers parents where semi wealthy land owners back in the pre commi days. they barely managed to get out alive during the russian revolution though.

 

i remember couple years ago someone who wasarmed ith a pistol, broke into this womans house...unfortunately she was 1 of those born again types that always seem to have pamphlets tucked in theyre sleepes or something.. anyway, 20 minutes of bible quotes & sinners go to hell, wont you accept jesus & be saved..& the robber was too frustrated with just trying to shut her up that he left empty handed except for with 1/2 a ham sandwich he stole from her fridge..lol

 

a wide array of things and knowledge


but the first thing to understand is that you should NEVER draw a weapon unless it is in a defensive action, and then if you are defending yourself, you kill whatever you are defending yourself against, if you are going to try to use it to scare someone that's either not going to work and you won't be prepared for what comes next, or it will work and you COULD have talked your way out of it without risk of escalation


that is why you DO NOT draw a weapon unless you are completly ready to use deadly force and know you are justified, because if there is any doubt in your mind it is much more dangerous for you to have it than not

weapons are not deterrents, weapons are weapons

as to would I use a weapon if I had to, yes if I had to use a weapon I would use it, but anything short of greatest need is completly outside of any realm of use

 

does my rapier like wit count?

 

only if it's damascene steel....

 

my mistake
this seems to be a pickle and not a rapier

 

I used to have some Brass nuckles fastened as a belt buckle.

 

i used to have a butterfly knife in my purse, but i left it in my car when it got broken into, and they stole it.

 

some one could choke you with your own dreads.

 

Well, I don't have a weapon, but my husband does. A Colt 45 and a 55 Magnum. I've gone target shooting with him a few times, but guns make me nervous. He keeps his locked in a safe thankfully with combination locks on the guns as well.

The 45 was his father's, so it's very sentimental to him. The 55 he begged me to let him have last year, to which I grudgingly agreed, but of course told him that it had to remain unloaded and locked.

 

I have a rapier sharp wit-does that count?

basically I AM a weapon...

 

I've just realised....i don't.....apart from the usual kitchen knives and an ornamental cavalry sabre.....there is a broom near the door i could prolly give someone a good wallop with tho'

 

I've never had to use more than my fists, doubt I'll ever have to use more than that, do have a baseball bat though

 

um, I got kitchen knives...
I see nothing wrong with weapons...People in prison make the most creative and craziest weapons and they can make them out of anything..i think they should get trophys or hold contests in weaponry...
again id rather be shot then stabbed with anything they make in prison...
Im gonna craft me a shank and sleep with it under my pillow...
