i always carry a (legal) knife on me at all times (except school), especially after a friend of mine got jumped a few months back.

I think thats a bad idea. It will probably just esclate things. They jump you, you pull out a knife - they pull out theirs.

from now on i gonna cary a knife to ANYWHERE, even to the supermarket

eek:

no, if someone attacks me, and if i feel that if they're going to cause some kind of bodily harm, i'm within my legal right to strike back as long as i'm just doing it to get them off me. I'm a real skinny guy and i'd probably wouldn't make it out alive without it. I've talked to the local police about it and they said as long as i'm meeting force with resistance, i'm cool.

if thats the case, i'm fucked with or without the knife. Civilian pepper spray doesn't always work. So short of a firearm, the knife is the best i can do.

you act like you live in centercity philly. Don't you live in the "Corey Mathews" area of Philly?

you'd think that. I live in a nice town that just happens to be flanked by one really shitty one. I go to school there and i know the people who live there. Not exactly some of the choicest people to deal with, lot of unsavory characters. If you feel like stopping by, i'll be glad to show you west palmyra and riverside.

edit: i also live 20 minutes from camden. with direct connection to the riverline.

i sense some mansecks..... spank:

That sucks man. I assume this was at a show? What kind of show was it?

I live in the inner city of Detroit and never have had any problems. Not getting mugged or jumped is easier than you think.

lollers

right now, i'm happy that i'm not stabbed or something oOo:

Should've taken your shoe off. Whilst holding it by the laces, spin around in circles as fast as you can. Heh.

Two of my friends have been mugged, and it was together. It's because they ended up in the wrong neighborhood from walking home drunk. One of them got pistol whipped in the ear and both some stuff taken.

Other than that, usually if you know your way around, mind your own business, and don't make yourself an obvious target, you'll be fine. No need to get all paranoid.

Last fight I was in was 11th grade. I'm 22 now.

Like a knife will help oOo:

A knife will likely only get you hurt more.

So last year right? happy:

but yah thats sux dread.... sorry to hear that.
