What to carry when I can't carry?
I am a college student and I spend a lot of time on campus (obviously) where I cannot carry.
These days a pocket knife just doesn't bring enough peace of mind for those walks back from the library late at night. (I live in a neighborhood just off campus.) Anybody have suggestions for other things I could carry on campus? I have been thinking about a taser but I don't even know where to start. I am not big on pepper spray/mace because you have to hit them in the face for a really good effect (what if I can't aim it at their face at the time?). Not to mention having to breathe that stuff myself in a close quarters situation. Thanks for any tips or advice, Rebtl

I just googled the c2 taser and it looks awesome but I can really afford 300 bucks for one right now, (heck thats a great start on a new gun). Maybe its worth the investment though. there will always be times when I can't carry

Man, people like you, students, are somewhat screwed...err limited on what you can do to protect yourselves. Sucks. But wait, schools are gun free zones...nothing ever happens on campus.
 Yep, what has been said above.

Running shoes.
Seriously, the baton thing sounds like a good idea. However, I would think that if the BG has a gun, you don't bring a baton to a gunfight, and if they have anything other than a gun, you're better off just running away. |
