Re: General discussion chat Mugging involves having the shit beat out of you, so I don't exactly see that as a way to have some fun :\ Would be interesting to do to a pick pocketer or something, though.
Re: General discussion chat God. I don't ever want to live in a country where it's illegal to defend yourself. Flick blades and butterfly blades are legal here, although switch blades aren't. Of course it's illegal to threaten someone with a knife over here, too. That's a logical law.
Re: General discussion chat If only they would just roll over... People in the UK don't tend to be paranoid about protecting themselves. Its not much of an issue here or something people worry about.
Re: General discussion chat ugh, i want gta v on pc already so bad, i can already see all the awesomeness that mods will bring to it PC MASTER RACE
Re: General discussion chat It would have been kinda ironic if it got stolen I needs it with IcEnhancer and possibly a HD texture pack (along with a new GPU) Dont worry, you carry a means of defending yourself, it will be fine ^That was very much a tongue in cheek comment btw^
Re: General discussion chat It's perfectly legal to defend yourself here. Just as long as you don't use anything stupid. Like a gun, for instance.
Re: General discussion chat Dont underestimate a 1.5' blade. Even if you stab someone in a relatively "safe" area like the thigh, it can seriously screw them up. Now, if you twist the blade after it goes in, it fucks their shit up. The wound cant be stitched closed. I carry a knife with me everywhere i go. Not for potential use as a weapon (although i will if it comes down to it). I see a knife as a tool. And in fact, living in a rural area, i use a knife all the time as a tool. Im just glad that knife laws arent crazy in my area.
Re: General discussion chat I remember a quote from something that said "please excuse him, he's British" but then I remembered it's just admiester. That doesn't need explanation
Re: General discussion chat I'm late to the marching band topic, but we had our competition yesterday and finished first in our class! It was 20F, raining, and windy. 8/10 would band huddle and grow hands back to do again. We have finals next week. We finished 4th last year overall, and I hope we do better this year!
Re: General discussion chat Well hes correct as far as UK law is concerned, You are not allowed to use excessive force. A gun would be classed as that and since you aren't allowed to carry them (with a couple exceptions) you would be under serious scrutiny any way. Just done a bit of web browsing, this site seems to do a decent job: http://www.selfdefenceweaponsuk.co.uk/ (just ignore the header image ) Note that one of the "Legal UK weapons" is an LED torch
Re: General discussion chat Why does BubbleAwesome's name have a plus next to it in the currently viewing bit?
Re: General discussion chat I was just poking at him about his seemingly constant anti-american stance. He seems to dislike all things truly american like muscle cars, guns, and our entire government. I'll just say, there are a good many situations where I do not see a gun as excessive force. Would I be able to remember everything I'd be taught in that situation? Would I be too stressed to react quick enough? I don't know. I do know I'd rather have a gun in those situations than a knife. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, I imagine a flashlight or a hitstick wouldn't be a bad choice. EDIT: I'm a friend.
Re: General discussion chat Well since its illegal to carry something that you intend to use as a self defense weapon you wouldn't be allowed a hit stick since it would be hard to justify. If you ever come to the UK and you really feel like you need to carry a weapon my best advice for you is to bring an old Nokia. At least you can then justify it
