Knives fit perfectly in your boot or the zippo pocket on most jeans, as do pepper spray, pocket tasers, and tactical spikes (kubotans).
Do ANYTHING it takes to protect yourself.
Don't let them think you are theirs for the taking.
@Ms420 I have many good knives. But if going into a sketchy situation I also have these, with a nice swivel holster for the straight one that lets me get it in the small of my back along the belt line. And I have some training with them. Then there's my long sword, which GingerCat has dubbed Kindness
@Ms420 Might be. I got them while still a PSO but since my license and registrations have both lapsed I might be on shaky ground. But I excel at avoiding a fight, so if the batons come out things have already reached a point where figuring it out later is the thing to do.
@Fellixe I've wanted to get one of those for my wife, but I was under the impression I were illegal in Oregon. The extendable ones at least. If not, I'll get one she can fit in her bag for her walks to and from work.
