If you carry a .25 caliber be sure to aim at the teeth, any place else and you'll only piss the guy off. I'm 6'4" tall, 270# and most undesireables would rather pluck a hair off King Kong's butt than mess with me. I carry a Big Brute scoop that has a sharpened edge for water hunting. Retreat into knee deep water where running is impossible and start swinging. >:(
Land Sharks, I carry a SCUBA knife like Sandman has on my tool holder, with a Gator Digger that's sharpened and two probes: on 12 inch brass and the other is a 18 inch Ice Pick probe. Ask a thug sometime how they like ice picks, most don't for good reason, it'll go right through a breast bone like a hot knife on butter.
Pepper spray is expensive but a better choice is WASP SPRAY. It'll shoot a 30 foot stream and offer several shots for a few bucks. Also it's poison and the thugs will have to seek medical treatment to get the stuff out of their eyes and bloodstream.
If you are grabbed from behind, drive your heel onto their foot and use your elbows to their face. Don't bother with a groin kick, back slap them across the Adam's apple with the back of your hand.:o That paralyzes their ability to breath and makes their eyes water. Other tips, go to Youtube and watch some of the Self Defense videos :read2: that instructors put on there.
You might have to fight for your life so toss away the rule book and fight like a Barbarian :icon_pirat: and fight to win. Most thugs are bullies and cowards and don't want to mess with someone who might kick their butt. Be safe! :headbang: :thumbsup:

I usually carry a fresh can of pepper spray on me ,and i always have a Mding buddy with me. At the first sign of danger i will [size=10pt]spray my fellow Md partner in the face with the pepper spray. As he is running around in circles screaming and clawing at his eyes, it usually buys me enough time for a safe and timely escape. Anyone want to go detecting? :icon_pirat:[/size]

If iam not on the beach which here is ok at least during the day and iam in the deep woods you bet i carry a weapon you just never know what your going to run into :dontknow: although i have seen sharks close in to the beaches sometimes the King !! great whites do show up here since we are 121 miles out on the tip east end and no way would i even stay in the water long enough to fight one of those off :o.

Thought I would reply to this. My weapon is my scoop. My enemy...DOGS. Those rabid mongrel curs! JK. I like most dogs. I even had one run up to me and lick me in the face...while I was desuiting. Its the one outa 15 or so that get jacked up and act like they gonna attack me. Not just playing. I gave one owner a stern warning I "wasn't waiting for the dog to get closer than my swing!" Problem here? Owner. Guy says "good boy" when they were leaving.

As far as a real weapon...I live in massachusetts. Only criminals and cops are allowed. Heh. What a state. HH -Joe

Bretta .25 auto ... very small and easy to carry in your back pocket.
Aint much on brute stopping power but the closer they get the more deadly it becomes.

Never had to take it out of my pocket ... hope I never do ... nothing good can come from that.
But as the old saying goes ... Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!

I like the way you think!
When facing violence on the street today, the only thing guaranteed to get you out alive is by injuring the attacker(s) beyond their ability to function!
