The world is getting violent every year, it might get so bad that we all someday might need to carry some sort of weapon for our protection.
The constitution says eveyone has the right to bear arms so if we had a clean record and got a weapons permit to carry what weapon would you choose be specific. If not a gun what other device would you carry???

I carry a 9-mil semiauto handgun. It's small, the recoil isn't bad, and it's got pretty good stopping power.
*UPDATE* stupid hippies. If someone pulls a gun on you, I think you'll find yourself overmatched. In fact, I can't fathom a plausible scenario where a samauri sword would be helpful...

I have a weapon I carry with me always, it is called my brain. Do I need a gun to feel safer? No. Bad things happen all the time but if you spend your life worrying about what is around the corner, it is not much of a life. Before all the "hawks" start their thumbs down, I served in the military as did my father and grandfather, my 21 year old son has been in the reserves since 16. I have nothing against guns. I will never have a gun in my home. I can get all the food I need at the local grocery stores. If I feel the need to hunt, I take a bow and arrow to at least give what I am hunting a chance. Having a gun just because you can makes no sense to me. Accidental shooting in the home because a child finds it is criminal and locking up the ammo makes a mockery of having it in the first place. Excuse me, Mr. Robber, I have to go to the basement to unlock the ammo for the gun I need for protection....A brain is a dangerous weapon, guns cannot think....

I have a carry and conceal permit, in the Summer, I carry a Walker Bulldog .44 mag. Revolver 2 in barrell,
In the Winter I carry in a shoulder harness a .45 cal. Para 1911.
I f I could not carry a gun, it would be a Gladious sword.
(the type of sword used by Gladiators in ancient Rome)

I always carry the most effective weapon I can at all times. That weapon is a brain. I know how to avoid placing myself in vulnerable situations, I am constantly aware of my surroundings and avoid confrontation. I admittedly do not live in the safest area, however have somehow never found myself to be a victim by having street smarts. Prevention is the most powerful weapon a person has to offer.

I have a concealed weapons permit. Carry one in each vehicle. Glock 17 9mm and S&W 357. It's better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it.

I have carried mace since college. That is good enough for me.
However, if it got to the point where I thought I needed a gun to keep my family safe, I would get a small handgun.

I wouldn't need a permit because it wouldn't be concealed, My weapon of choice is a 12 ga shotgun. It's obvious presence is deterrent enough

I usually carry my .38 but there are times when I choose the slimmer design of my 9mm.
