"Weapons" and personal safety

[truthseeker]

Personally I think its better not to carry a weapon for personal safety.

I was the victim of an anti social behaviour incident earlier this week. In the heat of the moment I was frightened so much that if Id had a gun I would have used it. Then I would have ended up being the one in trouble.

A lot of things can be used as weapons but were not designed as weapons, that's the important difference. Most people carry a set of keys and they carry them in order to use them for the purpose for which they were originally intended. Using keys to defend yourself if attacked is a very effective response but does not mean you have armed yourself with a weapon and the law would respect that difference.
