    When I was a teenager I used to carry a pocket knife. Never used it. Even when I got mugged. (3v1 and I wasn’t about to escalate)

    Now as an adult I carry a tiny tactical flashlight. Mainly use it for chores and work. FC13S $20. Solid purchase.

    I hope I remember it has strobe mode that’ll completely blind someone for several seconds. Would help to stop a fight or mugger. I keep it in the same side pocket I used to keep my pocket knife in…

      I heard statistics that 50% of people who carry a blade in a fight are stabbed with their own blade. Whilst it may help to actually learn how to wield it, I can never condone knife carry, and second the flashlight. I can also recommend Acebeam for a strongly built, bright torch.

      Damn. I need my button on the butt, not on the side.

      I also need it to do exactly one thing when I press that button, and that’s change the light from on to off or visa versa.

      I cannot for the life of me find a rechargeable flashlight that doesn’t have 4 modes, the most powerful of which gets so hot the flashlight dims itself after a few seconds.

      Edc flashlights are definitely useful for more than using as a light. There are end caps for most sizes that come with tungsten glassbreakers, might come in useful sometimes…

    The guy in the white t shirt is a coward. An rotund coward.
    I hope he gets what he deserves for that sucker punch.
