No knife, just a gun. You are safe NOWHERE!!

There was a woman, lives in one of the best neighborhoods, burgular kicked her dooor down and tried to kill her, you have to protect yourself. And if well trained, your protection will never turn against you

Hey, I was afraid of having offended you!! I admit getting a bit annoyed when you wrote that you know of no drunk and horny Italian man, when I just got back from the UK where alcohol seemed to be on everyone's mind, almost obsessively...

I agree with both of you, I was trying to be a bit nationalist about my country's persistent stereotypes.

At any rate, I repeat my offer to provide you with tips/advice/shopping/eating/sightseeing, you name it, so you'll appreciate your trip even more.

If you pass by Milan and don't let me know, I'll send you a drunk & horny Italian man chasing after you!!

No kidding, if you pass by Milan I can show what the sleek and trendy Milanese people do for happy hour or show you the Da Vinci Last Supper.

Did you know it's a fresco in a Milan's church? Or I can send you my very handsome son Alexis (18 but looks like 24. A bit young, ain't he? But he never gets drunk

I live in a parisian surburbian town, and Paris is always full of tourists, i believe if i'm safe there, i'm safe everywhere else, with the usual habits of precaution. I know i'm more careful about my bag and what i put inside it when i'm in Paris, pickpockets aren't racist lol.

Basically, there are dangerous places everywhere in this world, it then takes your common sense and a few simple precautions to minimize the risks.

I was referring to sexual harrassment leading to potential physical assault, and that's the only reason for me carrying Mace & pocket knife. A man who wants to force me to do that has to point a gun to my head or he'll be dead. Pickpockets are a total different story: you either don't notice they're doing it or, if threatened with a gun or knife, it's just better to give them the money or wallet and thank them for letting you go with your own legs..

Money's not worth getting in trouble for. Dear thief, just take it and get away from me.

But my private parts are something for which they have to knock the light out of me before they can even take a glimpse of it. If I could shoot a rapist, I would, no pity at all. And with this, I'm done on the subject. Cheers!

I agree. I don't care where you are at, danger lurks everywhere.

The Italian man I was talking about is definitely not your stereotypical Italian. I am thinking on working in his lab in Milan after I finish my PhD, so I might be working on providing your country with better crops sometime in the future!

I wouldn't bother carrying a weapon. It's not really impractical in a street situation. You need training and/or experience to effectively use a gun or a knife, so it could be more of a liability than an asset.

And even with the proper training, who knows what would happen the the second you reach for, or pull out the weapon.

Plus, your bare hands are more practical in these street situations since you can be very effective with making the least detectable movements possible. There's a lot which can be done against a knife or a gun in a close proximity, especially against the average thug (like when you're expected to raise your arms, you can use that expected movement to redirect the gun, break the index finger, and take possession of the weapon).

And the right self defense techniques (like Krav Maga for example) can be really effective against a few opponents to neutralize the threat and escape

 
Well said, elbows to the nose are effective and pretty brutal (very short range) but can be put into a combo as a follow through from a punch

 
No. I feel secure in my environment. I would give them what they demand and let the police take it from there. For anything else, I have a knife rack for those situations at home.

 
I Totally Agree with what april Said NOWHERE !!

And Princess Grace No worrys I wasnt Offended I was just stating I come from L.A Area & There are bad Ppl AS THERE IS EVERYWHERE!!! oF COURSE WE CAN BE FRIENDS LOL

i'm absolutely against carrying weapons of any kind in self defence. i live in two large cities, both of which i feel safe in but obviously i don't go walking around by myself at night. i don't think there's any need to carry a knife, especially with the huge knife problem we already have in this country. carrying it in self defence doesn't excuse your attacker from taking it from you and using it to hurt you, or stop you from going too far with it and hurting someone else.

 
my goodness! if you want tasers, you can purchase them in thailand, along with knuckle dusters, ninja stars, and the most unbelievable arsenal of illegal weapons.

Tasers are certainly illegal in Australia.

Honestly, I have never felt the need for such protection!

Just kidding, Ladies! Trying to show the extreme side of me, but actually I'd never purchase one! I think I'd already have enough troubles as it is with my Swiss knife and my Mace.... Relax, I'm not into violence at all but in preventing it. Being cautious at my age is fundamental, I have a son to think about (and a job, too!) Peace and Love and Viva Obama!

Uhm...ya that's why we have the castle doctrine law. You try to break in my car, my house, my place of business, I can blow you away and not get so much as a blemish on my criminal record, as long as it is proven that you are the robber, and I was defending myself, and I have a permit to carry, and the weapon is registered to me.

Me personally...I dont **** with anyone, I dont invite people to my home, I dont have guests to my home, I have 4 children to protect, you kick down my door, I will blast you out of the door, you carjack me, I will blast you out of my truck. And until you are violated, or someone you love has been violated, naturally you will be against it. That's your choice. The laws here protect me and give me that right. I have been violated, it will never happen again. It will never happen to my daughters.
