| Senior Member   | 2 stories of why I don't go anywhere without a knife why a knife? i'm not old enough to carry a gun without getting felonies so my friend had a place in the closest thing we have to a ghetto(but still doesn't count, there's only been one shooting in town in the 3.5 years i've been up here) and his landlord has had some legal issues, stemming from a violent temper, possibly influenced by drugs, but as a landlord he left them alone and had all the bills paid. But then he got arrested again, leaving his alcoholic crackhead wife to run the building, and of course she starts spending the rent money on drugs, the electricity was off for a couple days, they turn off the heat at night(it was 55 degrees in there last night), a few more illegal things, and she says she doesn't feel safe, makes my friend install a lock on the first door into the building, so now there are random thugs looking in the window, and she's all of a sudden asking for a key(he had told them he didn't need one, we think she wants to steal his stuff). guess who I'm helping move on tuesday? new landlord? daughter of North Pole Police cheif, sister of Fairbanks? Police sargent, located 20 miles out of town. I have 2 co workers in particular that i'm friends with, we make fun of each other, teenage guy stuff, I make him think I'm stealing cars, he makes fun of the way I talk, other guy says things I can't repeat here, friendly jokes that all 16-19 yr old guys do. apparently this got back to his parents(I won't even say what they do, you simply won't believe how much they control his life) so his dad gets out of the car, starts screaming at the older of us(I was on break) and follows him over 100 yards walking before he finally left like "HEY *name* I want to talk to you", and my co worker just kept saying "I don't want to talk to you, please get away from me" and trying to walk away, but the guy just kept yelling threats, saying he should be afraid, then when the co worker asked if it was a threat he said "It's a promise, you should be petrified of me", so he let management and the police know, so now, if the guy starts something, they know he really had to beat the guy's ass |

| Senior Member  | Yeah I know what you mean. I've worn at least one knife(usually a locking blade knife and a multitool) since I was 13 or so. Out here in the country you actually have need of them to work on things and people don't think twice about seeing 2 knives. I've been wearing them so long I feel kinda naked without them...if I ever got in a fight of some kind, I don't know if I would even bother with them though. I've always liked my hands just by themselves. It also looks better on a police report if you didn't pull a knife out and gut the other guy. Now if the other person had a knife, then I'd probably pull mine out to counter it, but that's probably the only reason I would.
