I must have missed the announcement, but this has to be a large joke right? The amount of shit that will get people killed on here is just constantly being repeated, telling small women how to train to fight off multiple opponents with their fists, people recommending carrying tactical tomahawks, others suggesting to just keep beating people after they are unconscious.

Its like somebody just brought a voice recorder to a literal mall ninja shop and turned it into a text transcript for reddit.

    the real secret is anything that would actually be useful for self defense is illegal. Like, I was looking into buying a pair of reinforced gloves for walking my dog incase the grumpy neighbor dog started causing trouble so I could just pick it up and not worry about being bit. Those are illegal, technically sap gloves. Felony carry like brass knuckles. Also, technically a big stick would be illegal, but even less useful as I would have to hit the dog instead of just safely separating them.

    I found out my best option was getting a gun license and using an AR-15 as a stick to keep the dogs separated. Only kind of joking.

        if you are riding a bike, it's fine. If you get off your bike and get in a fight it is not fine. It of course depends on the cop and your luck. Like, I could carry a chain saw. If it is for work fine. If I have it to fend off the neighbor dog, probably not fine.

        Realistically, I could just get them and keep them on the walk and it wouldn't be an issue. However, if the neighbor is just as big an ass as his dog, and the cop wants to make a big deal about it, that could end real bad for me real fast.

      I mean, if you are going to go hit some balls at the diamond, you would need a baseball bat right? So carry a baseball bat and a ball. Bonus is that you can hit the ball to your dog.
