How do you protect yourself out in the street, the car, and at home?
I always carry a knife on me just in case I have to cut someone, in the car all I have are the locks, it is the same for the house. I should get a gun, it's not like I have a child to bring it to school. Even if I did, I wouldn't think he would do that, I never thought of the idea when I was one and if he did, he would remember that day for the rest of his life, because of the snap of my belt.
I just scare everyone off with my gruff appearance and mean demeanor.
It is currently illegal to beat your children XD God bless the government >_> Also, I'm going to pretend for a second we don't live in a movie. Having a gun around doesn't suddenly make everything safe. Nor a knife. Either there comes a time when you can't get to it, or worse still, the bad guys get it off of you or get to it first. Or you freak and use it on someone/something harmless and cause more problems.
sounds kinda stupid to me unluss of course u have had something happen to u in the past or live in a really bad neighborhood that u think u need it, but usually guns only lead to trouble, same with knives but i collect those so im not gonna say anything more about knives
I keep my nerves of steel and cutting wit with me at all times.
In order to be able to protect yourself you must be able to enhance your insight of your opponents attack. You must know when it's the right and wrong times to defend yourself correctly. I would only use a weapon incase it was in a bad area.
But to make sure your good enough to defend yourself you might want to take some lessons on HOW to before you get all "Ooo I have a weapon!" It won't do any good. Reflexes, anticipation, and calmness will lead you to be able to defend yourself.
After like maybe 2-5 classes of maybe a type of martial arts you will be able to defend yourself proficient enough incase a couple of thieves come up and try to hurt you. Hope this has helped.
Never resort to violence unless only last option.
I can scream really loud
The only part of me where there is more muscle then fat is my legs, so I quess I'd have to resort to kicking. However, I just become friends or ignore people. I'm pretty proud of my self for having never been in a fight.
Akido, kick boxing, Jeet-Kun-Do, decent physical condition, far above average reaction time (I'm told I could make a good fighter pilot), and a grim willingness to cripple or kill anyone who so much as lays a hand on me with violent intent.
I always roll strapped.

Totally gutted I couldn't find the Naked Gun 33 1/3 screen capture anywhere :(
i got myself a [6 inch] Hibben Thrower knife from the Arizona Asian Festival for $6 a few years ago. sweet deal for a Hibben Thrower! it's about half the normal price. the largest size is like 9 and a half inches. Hibben Throwers have a hole at the end of the blade, perhaps for tying a rope to. i thought it to be some kind of ninja knife.
i don't have it no more. i lent it to my cousin b/c i accidentally carried my red purse with me (which had the knife in it), when i went to Calif. we went to Yellowstone National Park and i thought we were going by plane, so i let her look after it. as far as i can say for the knife, it was confiscated from her.
i have three more throwing knives at home. i don't take them anywhere.
I've always maintained it should be legal for everyone to carry around a full daisho. If everyone had two swords strapped to their belt at all times and knew how to draw them at insane speeds, I'm sure violent crimes would diminish significantly.
Seriously though, I don't carry anything on my person. I have considered carrying a knife, but really, I am not sure I want to engage someone in a knife fight, if I am overpowered the likelihood of my getting killed increases dramatically.
I, uhh... call the police?
I annoy/confuse all potential foes away.
