If it’s such a bad area you think you need a knife for protection, you’re just going to escalate the situation and get shot. Or stabbed with your own knife. Likely both.

Legally and for your own safety, you're better off with a gun. Unless you're in a place with crappy police, it's not that big a deal to go through the process.

Knives are generally a terrible choice for self defense. Their use requires you to get close to the person trying to harm you. In that instance, they could take your knife, and then it’s bad news. Instead, consider getting pepper spray/gel, or carry a concealed firearm. Or even better, get really good at running.

honestly since it’s a bad area i grew up always carrying something, kind of just for comfort as it brought me a little more sense of safety i guess. also just for the hell of it which sounds really stupid on my part but, ehh. id rather ask around and carry a knife legally while being stupid rather then carrying a knife illegally and stupid.

Don’t try to protect yourself with a knife even if it has supernatural properties. Nobody was that stupid even in the dark ages when all they had were blades and leeches for medicine.

But they're still useful, maggots are even used to clean wounds in some places.
