    I do lots of things alone, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I have been known to carry pepper spray, and a taser. I have also been known to carry a butterfly knife. I drive myself where I want to go, and I carry weapons if I feel it's necessary. I'm not looking for anyone to protect me. I also don't go to places that I feel are dangerous.

      You probably shouldn't carry a knife, unless you are trained w/ knife fighting...it's more likely to be taken away & used against you.

        Not to mention the hazards of an unjustified sense of confidence.

          Maybe I should get a gun instead?

          Oh God, no shit. So much consuming of John wick movies...so much forgetting the path of least resistance will often fucking de-escalate, so much forgetting of the fact that we are pants pooping hairless lady apes who weigh a buck fiddy & not matrix backfipping, olde west squinting, bad ass catwoman warriors.

            I like your raw and exciting introduction. What happens next in your scenario?

        Oh it's cool, I haven't carried a knife in a while. I actually would like to learn knife fighting.

          Tip for ya, Rosie. If you can't find a knife fighting instructor, kubaton martial arts is a good introduction. Karate studios often have programs for this. Call and ask.

          Being trained is one thing. Are you willing to use it on another human being?

              Ok.
              Basically, what you should know when you learn knife fighting is to use the knife like a pen on a sheet. But don't only focus on the knife and use your other hand as well to distract and to block.

      A taser is pretty good but don't carry a knife, especially if you're not willing to kill someone with it.
      As countessDouche says, you need special training and determination with that. Butterfly knife won't do you any good.
