Do you feel safe when going out? Do you bring any weapons with you?

I feel pretty safe in my neighborhood. While I am walking around my neighborhood, I don't carry any weapons. When I go else where, I always have a knife with me. I also have a built in weapon I carry with me at all times. I know self defense. If you don't know any self defense moves, I highly recommend taking some classes.

I am a brave little girl even when I was small. Yes, I bring my weapon all the time wherever I go as what my grandma told me before. I am always equipped with a powerful weapon. This is very handy. No one can ever take this except God and this is my faith.

my daughter has a spray against attackers she could use when needed. indeed the times have been going crazy. more and more seem to become lawless. scary indeed.

Girls! Ofcourse we have to be very careful these times because dangers are everywhere, but I am not really into planting that into my mind all the time. If I am going somewhere where I have to end up late at night and without someone else I always bring a spray with me and a ballpen, for safety precautions :)

I do understand that it is safe to carry some sort of weapon as a precaution. However, i do not carry any.

I do not carry any weapons cause i dont live in danegrous part of city, this is peacfull and no ''crazy people''.

There's a lot of people on here who don't understand how crime works. A predator doesn't hunt in it's own den. How much could you expect to get by robbing or ransoming someone in the slums? They hunt out in the nicer neighborhoods then drag their prey back to the slums. I usually have a knife or boxcutter on me which I use for work also. When my work used to put me in higher risk situations I was armed to the teeth with a pistol, shortsword, tanto, wrist blades, flack jacket, handcuffs, etc. On a few occasions they had to be put to use. I no longer have to be so heavily armed but would still be more than a handfull for anyone foolish enough to attack me.

I know what you mean, nowadays its quite a dangerous world, people now have to lock doors, shut windows etc. But anyway back to the topic, It feels safe in the day, but when i go out with my friends until early hours i tend to bring with me a small taser like gadget on my set of keys aswell as alittle mini alarm gadget, you can get these basically at any crimestopper charity stores but in some countries its doubtful they have such stores but its good for precaution to have your little mace i hope you all the best and hope you have a safe life on your travels. :)

I don't carry any weapon if I go out. I know how to depend myself and I don't used any weapons to depend myself in any bad person out side...

I am living in India. And in India where is residence is a peaceful are. I never feel need of any weapons. I suggest if you have any fear from some one than keep weapon with you only for your safety not to hurt some one.

I always carry an umbrella. it can protect me from sun and rain and I can use it as a weapon just in case. I know it's a puny weapon but at least I have something to fling at the attacker.

hi, oh my,of course not i dont bring any weapon with me because i am afraid when policeman or security guard or anyone knows that i bring a weapon,i dint want to be in jail just because of this.

I don't carry anything when I go out alone (probably because I've lived in my city since I was born, and I know where not to go), but I do always carry a pen around. A high school teacher taught us how to use everyday things against maniacs who try to take advantage of you. Plus, well... you have a pen whenever you need it. It's always best to simply walk around in a group.

I feel safe when there is no people , crazy people even if they aren't close it's uncomfortable , but I did not ever thought of bringing anything in a danger scenario ... it's amazing, mace on a key chain , sounds a little twisted , if there is something to be afraid in the night one of it would be people attacking you ..

I ever since I was assaulted nearly three years ago, I never felt safe when going out as usual. I had always carried pepper spray with me wherever I go, but I did not have it with me because it happened while I was alone in my apartment. My apartment complex is now using an entrance security camera to locate trespassers who are prohibited. There is also a raised cost on monthly rent which makes it difficult for me to afford, even though they are making the apartment complex a safer place.

I don't carry any kind of weapons when I go out. I think if you walk with confidence that most of the time you will be safe. The only time that I ever had a problem was one night that I saw something out of the corner of my eye and I started worrying about it. I ran a short distance and the guy did not follow me so I started walking again. Since that time, I didn't have a problem because I just don't worry about it. Not that I am overly religious, but I trust that I will be ok and I am. Whether I am protected by God or just by my confidence, I am safe.

I agree, we can never be too careful these days- especially since we are girls. I used to have a cutter in my bag, just a really small one..And my umbrella can be used as a weapon too.

At my place, we are not allowed to carry weapon along no matter where we go. Once we are stopped and checked, we will be arrested for bring weapon along. I am puzzled by the word weapon. Other than knives, many other objects can be weapons for us. For instance, umbrella, sharp keys, bags and so on. How are they going to define if we are bringing weapon along? As long as an object which is used to attack other person can be considered as weapon. But when a policeman find out I am bring a knife along, I shall still be detained and charged too even though I have not made any assaults with this knife. ha! ha! ha! I don't think I can bring anything for self-defend at all.

Well it depends where I am going.in my own neighborhood i feel pretty safe.but if I am going somewhere I dont know i often have a blade in my pocket. I also sometimes carry around this white pipe that I can just stuff in my bookbag or tote bag. I like to always have something on me.the world is unpredictable and i have been followed quite a few times in the past so yea

I am not bringing any weapons with me. Its inappropriate, for me, to bring any. Just think positive that nothing bad could happen. If anything happens, I could use things on my bag like ballpens,perfume, etc.
