Hi, Jow Forums. I live in a state (CA) where I cannot carry a gun or rifle on me until I am 21. Currently I am 18.
I fully plan to get a CCW, but until then, I need something to protect myself with. I live in a pretty ghetto neighborhood and I frequently have to walk to places. Self-defense canes are alright, but walking around with a self defense cane makes people think you're disabled in more than one way.
Pic related: my EDC. I have basic knowledge of how to use my knife, but I really, really, really do NOT want to get into a knife fight. One guy will die and one guy will spend a week in the hospital.
I'm moving out in a few years. Hopefully by the time I'm 21

Why? elaborate.

Pepper spray/gel, comfortable shoes, and situational awareness.

Don't do stupid shit or hang out with stupid people and stay away from the places youre gonna get jacked up at. Millions of people around the world live in ghettos and they do fine. Its just that the odds are worse
get decent education and move to a place where you don't need to be afraid for your life.

Nothing. CA penal code 22210 pretty much prohibits any self defense weapon besides a Taser, 1.5 oz of OC spray, or a non automatic, non spring assisted folding knife 3 inches or under. There have been people charged under 22210 for having baseball bats, and hammers in the cabin of their car. Veterans have even been charged for carrying walking sticks as prosecutors have really skewed the definition of whats considered a "leaded cane", as they've even been able to convince a jury of 12 spics and soccer moms that wood flag poles are "leaded canes" in the past.

Pepper gel. Spray can come back in your face, gel doesn't. That allows you to keep distance, and nobody's gonna go to the hospital if you pepper spray them. Once someone goes to a hospital with a stab wound the police will be notified and you'll end up being Juan's ruca, ese.
I've used sabre pepper gel in the past and it worked really well (tweakers).
>nobody's gonna go to the hospital if you pepper spray them. People have literally died from complications due to being sprayed. Don't offer advice, when you clearly don't know shit, retard.

1st job: situational awareness reading: Left of Bang, Cooper's principles of self defense. Start with cooper you can find it online for free. Left of bang isn't eathshattering but condenses very well principles of human behavior (especially in groups and places). Optional but good is "be a hero" by John Geddes. He's a brit so doesn't assume you have funs but has a good attitude. Some overlap in those three but a good foundation.
2. Fitness: Sprint training. Good Cardio generally. That's free. It would be good to get some Boxing or muay thai or judo for stand up striking/throwing which pairs well with plan B (get the fuck out of dodge). I know that's expensive and might not be possible. That's why I mentioned the books. The knife isn't terrible but make sure you know some legal principles of use of force in your state. And whenever you have a lethal weapon your behavior is scrutinized. Make sure you will look good in front of a cop, judge, and jury.

Words cannot express how much I'd love to read a story about some nogs trying to assault some dude, only to meet the righteous fury of The Hammer of Justice.

Situational awareness, good cardio and not hanging out in places you'll get mugged.

>people have literally died cite that shit then

>Martial arts Get a good teacher, practice often. Pick one that spars. Kali or thaiboxing is legit.
>Tactical flashlight. Always useful, see things in the dark. See threats, blind threats and hit threats in the head with flashlight / run away.
It's illegal for anyone under 21 to own a pistol let alone carry one in any state, ignoring the few states that have those "all federal regulations don't apply here" laws which don't actually do anything because people are pussies.
You don't choose to get into a knife fight, the knife fight chooses to get you involved in it. Your can try to reduce that possibility with situational awareness, but it's not going to be 100%, especially with the amount of niggers in the neighborhood. Thing is, niggers don't want to get cut either unless they're high on pcp. >cane If you're entertaining the idea of a cane in nigger land you're just asking to get shot. Honestly running shoes are by far the best self defense option if a ccw is unavailable, followed by a knife you can open with a single hand without looking. Pepper spray can be useful to maintain distance, but it's main use is to give yourself an opportunity to run away as it cannot do significant damage.

Self-defense canes are literally big-ass sticks with a hook on the end. You have the first draw in a fight.
You can't hit bullets out of the air with any weapon, if you get mugged with a gun and you do not also have a gun 9/10 times if you try to fight you will die.
Cooper Torres
The guys robbing you absolutely conceal carry so.....good luck with your 2" folding, single edges, non locking box cutter

OP here. I thought it was pretty silly, but thinking about it more, this thing would be a beast. youtu.be/sDLMIHEaUuc >Eskrima/silat teaches to strike with the tip of your stick, as it's the most powerful end of your weapon. >Strikes to knees/elbows/head are common in stickfighting martial arts >Flip it over and you have nearly guaranteed lethal force if you hit someone in the head
In situations where you need to just get away, you can break someone's knee and run. In situations where your SO is in danger/there is no escape and it's life or death, you can Eustace Bagge them to death.
Martial arts + "righteous hammer of justice" = pretty good tweaker protection. But I do have a few questions...
1. What are the legal ramifications for carrying and USING a hammer in self defense? Isn't it considered lethal force?
2. Is there a way to explain carrying a hammer on your person at all times that doesn't make you sound like an autist? Or will they just understand if you tell them the unconditional truth? >"this hammer is for breaking tweakers"
