In that case you might as well give yourself as equal of a chance as possible. If they don't know you have it it can also be a surprise. I bet almost anybody won't want to continue a assault if they are surprised and a knife gets plunged between their ribs when they didn't see it coming and never knew the other person had it. One just can't be afraid to use it if the situation is dire enough because then it really can be taken away and used against you. As long as a person is resolute enough to use it when the situation calls for it a weapon can give a great advantage.
My dad got me a cute weapon.

True. But that means the weapon of choice will escalate. We'll need to carry around personal rocket launchers just to pop down the shops to get a pint of milk!

Show me the completely false statements. The Constitution guarantees you the right to life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment. I have never been to England, but from what I gather, from the things I have read on this board, you aren't even allowed to carry a knife in England, and I THINK I read on this site, from a poster based in England, that if attacked, even in your own home, you are required to retreat. I doubt that any political, or Monarchy figure (if that's the proper term), go through life without a higher degree of rights, then an average citizen. I find it hard to believe that Prince William, is not allowed to carry a pistol for protection...and in this country, if you defend yourself, against an attacker, it is called self defense, and if you can prove you believe your life was in mortal peril, you can use deadly force. As far as the rest goes, I do believe it is true, that I believe, I would rather be judged by 12, then carried by 6...and I do believe I give the young lady credit for helping herself. So..........
What is it completely false about my statements?

No. Sadly they don't, and I would prefer it never gets to that point...but I would rather roll the dice, then roll over and die, or get hurt. My life is more important to me, then some low life that is trying to do me harm. More importantly, my families life is more important then anything to me.

It is. According to the American history I was taught, the British tried to confiscate guns, at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, and the colonists revolted. It was one of the defining moments of the war. I also seem to recall Adolph Hitler using firearms registration as a way to gather the information necessary to confiscate weapons, and slaughter people.
So yeah...real good for me.

So, you'd rather she be raped, than cut the guy a new one? There is the "castle law" as well.
If the D.A is a complete and total asshole, he's going to come after you just to get his names in the books. If it's a clear case of self defense, they most always drop the case. County court systems don't have the money to go after self defense cases anymore.
As I said in a previous post, I've been taking Krav Maga lessons for the past 3,5 years. The first thing you learn is that the best defense is to not get in a fight. If you can defuse the situation or walk away that's what you do but you also learn to do whatever it takes to win if you have to defend yourself. I can defend myself better than most guys and this element of suprise is a big advantage for a woman. So do I ever expect to use the knife, no. But if I do ever get in a situation in wich I have to defend my life I'd rather have even a small chance than no chance @ all.

I think it's great that you refuse to be a victim. I hope you never have to defend yourself either, and I think many women could take a look at you, and see a good example. Your parents should be very proud of you, and you should be very proud of yourself.

I've never been attacked but I don't think an attacker would give you the chance to open your purse and take out your cute weapon. That would defeat the whole point of attacking you.
