There should be a no option for the people who choose not to carry anything and do not want to which is more then those who will carry something to protect themselves on this site.

I'm some guy with nothing on me so I don't really need a self defense item. If shit does happen my fists or my legs (run away) will have to suffice.

No. I own the goods, but Im just not there, yet. Things go too far south, at least I have the option readily available.

I do carry when camping and fishing, but thats different, obviously.

If the question were, do you have a self-defense item in the home? The answer would change.

Because anybody could grab a kitchen knife. So I guess the larger question is, why don't most folks carry one (any item) in public?

Is it because the threat is perceived greater at home, as we are amid comfort?

Technically yes but not for that purpose.

I usually carry a multi tool with me. It has a knife, two screwdrivers and a few other tools.

But I carry it as a tool, not a weapon. Could be used as one if needed, though.

Probably because no one is going to outright attack you in broad daylight in public unless they are a loose mental patient or you are legit flashing hundreds.

Where I spend 90% of my time, I'm not allowed to carry a weapon besides like a knife.

Most people here probably do not live in a bad area or have never been robbed at gun/knife point. I still laugh at people thinking their fists will protect them if they ever are in a situation.

I'm kind of surprised by the response in the poll.

I thought there might be be a little more people with some kind of weapon on them or deterrent.

The average CEman is a genius millionaire who can bench 2x his body weight and knows kung fu so, no, they dont live in dangerous areas and they could beat up 99% of people out there if they had to anyways

I voted "Yes, a legal knife" but the knives that I usually carry are not legal. California henerally doesn't allow switchblades.

I am currently working on getting my armed security license, after that I'll apply for a CCW license.

I used to carry a knife when I was in school because this group of kids said they were gonna jump me.

It started out in the high school lunch room when a kid next to me had a squirt gun and shot this dude in the head with it. Everyone at my table pointed at me like assholes so he and his boys said they were gonna kick my ass. There were racial tensions at the time also but I won't get into that.

They didn't do anything but confront me on the bus but I kept my blade on me anyway until graduation
