if i would live in the city, and i dont. i would make myself a sort of stylish cane sword contraption. with a sort of tazer contraption in the bottom so i would have both a leathal and nonleathal option. also, unsheathing the thing in an arc would give you the distraction you need to act. ( e.g. sheeth flies off, zaps your attacker or at least makes him dodge/deflect it., giving you the time to move in )

OT: I dont need weapons, my two feet are good at running when needed. I prefer not to fight. If I DO fight however it will be in such a way that my opponent will have no way to react. A hammer to the back of the head for instance.
I. Love. Guns. I'm saving up for my CCW next month. Dunno what my first gun is gonna be though. I have a bunch from when I was a kid but they're all at my parents house.
I don't carry anything and don't really see a need to. I hardly ever go out anyway. I have a box cutter for work but I hate carrying it around. I have no interest in owning or using weapons of any kind other than as display pieces. I'm from the U.S. too which is probably weird...an American without a boner for weapons, how absurd!
Swords are wildly impractical, require a great amount of training to be useful and are for nothing more than decoration.
Knives make more sense and are quiet, but require direct confrontation to be of use.
Guns make the most sense. They can be concealed and are effective at any range. One day I'd like to get a license for a .357 magnum. I don't really believe a gun is necessary for protection or anything like that, and I'd never dream of using it on a person (or even threatening them), but I'd like to have one to take to a range or a farm or somewhere and shoot stuff.

I picked other, only because I wasn't sure whether a chainsaw was a sword or a knife.
Anyway, i'm a bit on the fence with weapons, there good self defense things, but they can also kill anyone you want to, which leaves me with the opinion of uncertain.

If an M9 Beretta gets into the hand of an inexperienced user, there is a good chance that they could slice part of their thumb off.getoffmycloud said:
OT: The closest thing to a weapon I carry is a pocketknife. I have no training on how to use one as a weapon, so If I got into a fight, I would probably pull it out to distract them, sweep their legs, and run.
My weapon of choice is all. I kid, a little. I'm a weapons collector(my collection sucks right now because I'm a poor college student, but I'm still a collector) and so I have a number of them. Rifles are a blast to shoot at a range, and anyone who hasn't, should. Also, pacifism is actually embracing death. by refusing to defend yourself, you are granting moral superiority to those who would murder you, and thereby turning your back on life, and embracing death.
A quote:
"If you are unwilling to defend your right to your own lives,
then you are merely like mice trying to argue with owls.
You think their ways are wrong.
They think you are dinner." from the book Naked Empire

I picked 'Knife' but I also wouldnt mind a good shotgun to back me up against some Zombies. The reason for Knife is because it is both a tool as it is a weapon, it can be thrown; used to cut; stab and take out a guard using the hilt. All while buttering yourself a sandwich.Uzbekistan said:

lol at the "sword" option
the only way to carry a sword around disgusised would be in a trench coat and then whats the point of having a sword in your pocket when your wearing a trenchcoat, no one would attack somebody in a trenchcoat

I'd agree with that, as long as a firm distinction is made between the opposition of yourself (or private citizens in general) owning weapons, and a refusal to acknowledge any situations where violence is called for.spartan231490 said:
Lets just say if the zombies ever attack and I don't turn immediately my house is the place to be...
As for what I carry...my Glock 22 is almost always in my truck, I carry an assisted open knife (mainly for work on the farm but I could use it for defense if necessary), and if I am going somewhere...seedy I carry my Kahr CW9 at least.

I don't carry weapons around because weapon laws here in the UK are very stringent. Though I usually have something that could be used as on, like a screwdriver.
