i don't really carry around anything for protection, because i try my best not to start fights (most people here carry knives so that our city's stabbing rates are ridiculously high).

i would say that it is probably just as likely that any weapon you choose (with the exception of guns if you are a quick and have decent aim) to be used against you as it is to protect you.

that said, my weapon is choice is my fists, because i will always have them with me, and it would be hard for someone to use them against me. i may not be strong but i can throw decent punches (hurray for minor hockey in canada).
