7/26/2023 0 Comments Ultimate backup weapon dogIt's generally legal in CA to carry (but check local laws for variances): It's ordinarily a misdemeanor to carry a firearm concealed if a first offense, but it can be charged as a felony under some circumstances. dagger, dirk, switchblade, ASP and so forth.*Ī knife is not prohibited if it can only be opened manually using a thumb-stud or the equivalent. Knives with pocket clips prevent me from digging around in my pocket and trying to turn the knife the right way so I can open it.įor a non-stabbing weapon, I prefer my 16" ASP baton.įor example, in Kalifornia, it's a FELONY to carry a: I prefer folding knives because that does give me the option of carrying a larger blade in a smaller, folded package, and they can be concealed easier. Very handy for flicking out extremely fast. Sometimes I still tote my Benchmade AFCK, which has a 4" blade and round Spyderco hole. Watch out though, animals have their talons and claws curved for a reason. Alot of my female co-workers actually think it looks cute. I tote a MOD Ladyhawk, which looks small and harmless enough with a 2.5" blade, and most people don't think anything of it when I use it for utility purposes. I can sink that thing into you about 6 inches and then brush the cooties out of my hair (just kidding!). In that case, maybe I show them my neon-green plastic rat-tailed hairbrush. Alot of people think if it looks scary or has serrations, it's for "hurting people". The definition "fighting knife" can be hard to define, seeing how many people abuse the term "assault weapon". In TN, you can carry a knife with a blade no longer than 4" and it cannot be a switchblade or "gravity knife" like a butterfly. It has a little hook type thing on the top of the blade, incorperated into the thumb ramp, that catches on the edge of your pocket when pulled out that pulls the blade open.Īlso the recurve style blade naturally pulls the blade deeper into whatever is being cut with it, and in defensive use this creates a massive wound channel. It opens faster than any automatic knife ever could, by the simple fact that if done right it comes open when you pull it from your pocket. This would be my choice for a backup if I carried a gun. Its a production version of Ernest Emersons custom made ES1-M folding fighter, designed for SEAL team use. Its a knife made by Emerson, called the Commander. Now if I carried a gun as my main defense weapon this choice would be different.īut since I am 15, and dont want to break the law and thus render myself unable to buy or own any guns if I get caught, I carry a knife as my main defensive weapon. its about 10 inches overall with an about 7 inch blade. Its a neat little home made deal, wood handles pinned on with tacks that have been gound flush, and a blade made from bandsaw blade. If I had to pick an ultimate backup weapon, the one that its only use would be where I was about to die and it was the only way to stop an attacker, what I would pick is a dagger I have. The ultimate backup in my opinion is a combination of awaredness, training, and tools.Īwaredness being noticing the situation around you, noticing an attackers weakness and strengths in just a few moments and general alertness.Īnd tools being the weapons, gun, knife kubaton, big stick or what have you.
