What is it that Afterhours posted

"Tis better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6"

and my favorite is

"Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it"

I prefer a big old Danny with 3 trebles and 65 lb braid and once hooked up twitch it every now and then -they'll go were ever you lead them little asholes

You guys have forgotten the most available tool at your disposal. The thousands of five to ten pound barnacle covered rocks at your feet. If they get that close, smashing one of them in the shin/ankle area will break the bone rather quickly and painfully.

How about a whistle around your neck along with the knife. There are so many of us here that are there so often if we heard a whistle blow we could easily alert authorites to a problem in the general direction of the whistle. Christ at 3 a.m. the sound would travel on and on.

I'd have to say if you get jumped from behind after dark you'd best fight like a you know what.

Remember you have the right to use the force necessary that any prudent and ordinary person would use to defend themself/himself in the same situation.
