Reply to comment by Fine_Adhesiveness181 in If i carry a 7 inch folding knife (3 inch blade, 4 inch handle) does it have to be concealed or unconcealed? by Fine_Adhesiveness181

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.
