Oh, me too. I am so used to carrying a knife that I forgot to mention it. I always have a pocket knife, always, and carry a hunting knife on my gunbelt when walking my dogs on the farm.
No, that's tomboy. When I say I always carry a pocket knife, I mean always,since I was old enough to remember. I don't even think of it as a weapon, it's a tool. I use it to cut open boxes at work (I never can find a blasted box cutter), to cut strings off my sweaters, to clean my nails and all the kinda stuff that a pocket knife is used for.
The hunting knife, on the other hand, is for "whatever" (cutting wire, whittling a splint, so forth and etcetera) I hope never ever to have to use it as a closeup weapon, but I guess it's a possibility. If I ever ever have to, I reckon I will already be severely bitten. I carry a handgun and a very stout walking stick to ward off the feral dogs out here in the country. I've only had to shoot a couple of times, and I've not had to use the stick except to ward off thorns. So far, anyway.
I searched out this thread because a huge, overweight and agressive Cocker Spaniel charged us from across the street last night. I was very impressed by my husband's reaction. He immediately began to yell at the dog to get away and was kicking at him. Our GS (mix) is 9 mos old and we had the prong collar on her at the time. I was about 20 feet behind him with my 13 year old Lab. It happened very fast. I'm now going to purchase a baton.
Can anyone tell me the approximate standard weight of batons? I looked at the one posted on the first page of this thread but they do not list the weight. Anybody carry a baseball bat or are they too heavy?
i bought the aluminum baton like the one that i posted a pic of. i have now been carrying it in my back pocket since last thursday, and aside from knowin it in there, i really can't tell.
