self defense Strelok 08/12/20 (Wed) 11:41:53 07dbc0 No.690029

One day while I was working out early morning some crazy guy ran towards me with 2 12in bowie knives. I bolted the fuck out of there and ran like hell to a public place, I called the police once I was already there

MY QUESTION:

I was wondering what would be the best street self defense weapon for a situation like this? Also the weapon has to be inconspicous or concealable (I live in the UK). So no guns or anything.

MY IDEAS:

Against knives, I could bring a bat with me, cause it is a longer range weapon and could be more effective against a short range weapon such as a knife. Also if any one asks I could say that I am using it for working it (i.e practicing swings for shoulder workout or some bullshit)

Another idea was bring a knife, it is not inconspicous, since if someone sees it I can't make a bullshit excuse, but on the other hand I can hide more effectively.

A good medium would be a multitool with a knife like a leatherman surge. Cause I bullshit saying that it is a multitool and I use it for my EDC and for self defense it has a good knife on it.

Bringing extra weights may the most inconspicous, cause I have the best excuse for bringing them (i.e. working out) but dunno how I would use them to protect myself

Any thoughts?

> live in the UK

meant Canada but both have strict rules against protecting yourself anyway so advice for both is welcome

Knives are for lametards.

Knives that make the thing you stab explode are for real men.

PEPPER SPRAY ALL THE WAY.

Pepper spray is the king of self defense weapons. It's easily concealable, it's legal, it has an insane range (one small cylinder can shoot up to 5 meters or 15 feet), it's an instant game over for anyone that gets it in the face (that shit can put down bears), it's super cheap, it doesn't injure, and you don't really have to aim, because it forms both a stream and a cloud of particles. Someone whack-o decides to run behind you with a knife? You just press the button while aiming in his general direction and you run away. Even if you don't hit him in the face, the particles stay in the air, and even walking through the pepper spray mist would suck for the attacker and stop him in his tracks. Best thing? It sticks to the clothes, so the instinctive eye rubbing that he will inevitably do will only make it worse for him, which will buy you even more time to gtfo.

The only downsides are that you gotta be more careful with what you have in your pockets (it is a pressurized container after all. You don't wanna puncture it or accidentally press the button while it's in your pocket), you have to mind the wind and you have to mind the direction where you're running. Trust me, I wasn't paying attention to the wind while I tested mine, and I shot it with the wind blowing in my face. It was not a fun day.
