I’ll start by giving you mine. After my military duties I went into guard work while attending college. I was an armed guard. I got into a few scuffles with people on that job. My employer was a former police Captain retired and he insisted we take some self defense courses. Our company also had a K-9 unit and I got to be a decoy a few times. That was fun!
After that job I lived my life in relative security with little thought about the state of my personal defense. In the last five years however, things have begun to change around here.
First and most important to me is a mind set. I seek to avoid trouble as much as possible through awareness. I do not carry gun for a couple of reasons I won’t delve into now, but it’s a topic I have often considered.
Here’s what I choose to carry in certain times and places. The most important one is the flashlight. The other two, the Kimber Pepper blaster II and a Smith and Wesson knife with various attributes. The Pepper Blaster is the second one I owned. The first one I practiced with. It shoots Pepper spray sort of like a pellet pistol shoots pellets. I don’t have a ton of faith in pepper sprays though to be honest.
