This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Seatbelts? Why on earth would you need a seatbelt for an old plow mule? My parents saw the doctor when they needed to, back then they made...

Not in my experience. I will probably die younger than anyone in my family due to sitting on my ***. My grandfather lived to be 97 and he never had running water. When he was in his late 70s, he...

I love how he tells you books are useless - then proceeds to try and sell you a book!:sneaky2:

I have the same desire, and someday I WILL do it. Right now I have too many responsibilities. What you want to do is buy some land. You can find bush in Alaska or Canada dirt cheap, sometimes less...

Shooting someone who pushes you is retaliation, not self defense. This thread is getting out of hand (at least for me), so I'm gonna bow out. My objection was really that it was suggested a college...

From the Lectic Law Library:

"A man may defend himself and even commit a homicide for the prevention of any forcible and atrocious crime, which if completed would amount to a felony; and of course...

Yep, I carry a knife every time I leave the house. It's usually a small buck folder with about a 2.5 inch blade. If they were made illegal today, I'd have mine in my pocket tomorrow anyhow.

Sure. So don't carry it in your pocket. That's what sheaths are for.

I'm not giving anyone advice, merely my opinion. And you know the old saying, everyone has one.

I agree 100% that one should have the proper training before carrying a gun. But knives require less training than guns. Let me rephrase that. Using a knife safely requires less training than...

Yeah, I get that, that's why I think carrying a knife is a better option than a ccw.. He's much less likely to accidentally kill someone with a knife. Carrying a gun brings with it a HUGE...

Oops. I did read the entire thread, but I didn't click any links, that's why I missed his. :blushing:

This page is circa 1998, so laws may have changed since then, but it lists every state and the legality of switchblades. As of 1998, Kentuckians are allowed to carry a switchblade as long as it is...

Look, I'm not trying to start a fight. All I'm saying is that responsibly carrying a knife - and using it for self defense if the need arises - is no different than carrying a gun. Both carry great...

And "most" are wrong. It's legal to own in 29 of the 50 states. That's better than half. And it's legal to carry in 18.

Well, if he has a gun, I'd rather have a knife than my bare hands. I'm just sayin'. Besides, if he's mugging me, he probably doesn't have a ccw. He might have a gun, but why would he bother to get...

I don't know whay you guys are so dead set against the op defending himself. If I was being mugged, yeah, I'd rather have a gun, but anything at all beats nothing. A knife, stick, a rock, whatever....

In Alabama, switchblades are legal to own and carry, but they may not be carried concealed.

Nah, I'm no expert. I'm just a country boy who was raised in the old school. My parents were sharecroppers until my dad made a few bucks by lying about his age and going to war (WW2). I just think...

Bah, let him go. When I was about 12, I'd go out in the woods with nothing more than a knife and a box of matches, maybe take the 22 or 410 if I was gonna stay overnight. He can always go home if...

I've spent considerable time in the woods, and let me tell you, as romantic as it may sound, doing it permenant is not possible. Let me rephrase that. Doing it permenantly, and keeping your sanity...

My grandfather witched wells for about half the state. I never saw him fail to find water.

My bugout vehicle is a boat. Much easier to go around any traffic jams. :sailor:

It is different, in that you must vigorously slam down the blastmatch in order to get a shower of sparks. This does not bode well for a carefully laid twig pile. Don't get me wrong, I have a...

Easy enough to hold a firesteel in your mouth in the event your hand is injured. I doubt you could use the blastmatch in such a manner.
