I don't even like walking around most parts of Atlanta, I get kinda on edge and I usually have at least 5 or 6 local dudes I work with who live there walking with me.
You? They'll fucking kill you, man.

Going to law school at Georgia State.

And I don't plan on walking around downtown much at all. That's what cars are for.

I'm swayed by Antero's and Marsupialized's arguments, but I'm not sure yet.

I will join the choir, and say to leave the knife at home. Actually, do carry a knife. I am never without a multi-tool, and a knife is a very handy thing to have, but not something to rely on for urban defense
.
If you knew how to carry yourself, you would not need the knife. If you need the knife, you probably won't use it right. Where are you going to keep it? How quick can you get it out? What is the other person going to do when you beginning your long slashing arc? Run at you with their throat? You have to get arms length from the person you want to use it on. Is that something you want to do?

You are better off getting a mean dog.

Super! It's working!

Since you guys are all musicians, maybe rather than carrying a knife or a gun you could always have a cheap acoustic guitar with you. Then, if there's a confrontation....

El Kabong!

I ain't Clocker Bob, but the picture above looks photoshopped.

Bear your scary off knife tactic presumes your imaginary mugger is thinking clearly he a/probably isn't - that's why he's mugging you and b/ will almost certainly be carrying some weapon or another.

I'm reckoning any self respecting mugger would not go about their daily duties without a weapon.

I've been doing quite a bit of knife training in Kali recently and one thing that is being constantly drilled into us is to avoid knife fights at all costs. With the best training in the world if you get into a knife fight the chances are you will, at best, come away seriously injured.

You won't be thinking clearly in that situation (you hardly do sat at your fucking computer) and the knife could make you behave even less sensibly.

Get a rape alarm Bear - it sounds like it'd be more useful to you.

Jesus H Christ - you really do think this much of yourself don't you?

I hope for your sake you do not come across like the sniveling little arrogant cock you come across like on this forum.

If you do then don't carry a knife - carry a sword.

Clocker Bob was not just wrong about the claim he inundated us with for years.

He was egregiously wrong. So wrong that it's astonishing that someone could invest so much time, energy and paranoia into something like that. And he was pig-headed and abusive about it.

I'm glad he's apparently gone the way of the buffalo, and glad that I flushed him out. Less garbage to wade through.
