<![CDATA[DefensiveCarry Concealed Carry Forum - Defensive Knives & Other Weapons]]> http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/ Most people that carry a gun also carry a knife or other weapon as a backup. Finding a good blade is often harder than finding a good pistol or revolver. en Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:05:58 GMT vBulletin 480 http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/images/misc/rss.jpg <![CDATA[DefensiveCarry Concealed Carry Forum - Defensive Knives & Other Weapons]]> http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/ impact weapons http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/rogues-gallery/91308-impact-weapons.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:50:35 GMT i've been thinking about carrying a flat sap in addition to a small fixed blade. if the situation permits, it can be an effective non lethal way of dropping somebody without the legal consequences of even a justified stabbing. i know they're illegal but i can deal with that. i have no qualms, however, about using a knife swiftly, in whatever degree it takes, to end a bad situation. any opinions? ]]> poilu http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=91308 Is this a practical choice from Coldsteel? http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/defensive-knives-other-weapons/91266-practical-choice-coldsteel.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:09:46 GMT Looking for a folder to round out my carry gear. While browsing their website, came across a product call the Scimitar. They had a video on their website pertaining to this knife. While the video was impressive, how practical would this knife be I wonder. Input is welcome. Looking for a folder to round out my carry gear.

How many CCW or Chl folks that carry regularly also carry a LOCK BLADE FOLDER or FIXED BLADE as a back up? In most cases with practice a LOCK BLADE FOLDER or FIXED BLADE can be deployed faster than CC firearm. If a Bad Guy wants wallet or car keys or anything that is on you, or wants to kidnap you he would have to get close enough to demand his wants, this is where A GOOD VERY SHARP DEFENSIVE KNIFE COMES IN NOT AS BACK UP BUT PRIMARY DEFENSE. A good sharp knife can be down right deadly, with very little concern about over penetration or missing the BG all together and downing someone else. CC FIREARM and DEFENSE KNIFE both have there place but for up close and personal (smell his stinking bad breath) the DEFENSE KNIFE seem to win as the weapon best suited for the task. As to the problem of getting his body fluids on you that will probably happen no matter what defensive weapon you use if you can smell his bad breath he will most likely bleed on you during the confrontation. Tell me why this is right thinking or wrong thinking!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me how this is wrong thinking, if it is wrong?

...So, you might say, who cares about the “bloody British,” as Johnny Horton calls them in the 1950s song The Battle of New Orleans, especially when the United Kingdom is conducting an English Inquisition of knives that makes U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s “Switch Hunt” of assisted openers look like a wee spot of bother by comparison?

What reminded me of the UK’s unabashed “knife-o-cide” was when I visited a website pertaining to the aforementioned English knife manufacturer. There, all in red including a big circle with a white number “18” in it, was the garish warning: “IMPORTANT You must be over 18 to buy a knife. Your age will be verified by an Age Verification Service.” (An “Age Verification Service”? No wonder England has lost its mojo!)...

Reason being I figure there could be a lot of situations that could arise where shooting someone is not the answer. And I also believe that the gun should never come out of the holster unless you intend to shoot someone. You can't just wave the gun around to scare the guy(s) off or something.So when you think about it the gun could be useless in a lot of confrontations you might come into.



Anyway that being said, I am thinking I need a good pepper spray to throw in the pocket. I am wondering what the best spray would be. In doing some research I am thinking the Fox Labs 5.3 is the answer.

Am I on the right track? ]]> ItsMyRight2 http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/defensive-knives-other-weapons/90944-thinking-non-lethal-addition-needed.html
