There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.
What you don't know won't hurt you? well i intend to get to know as much as possible so that i can make sure no one else has to so they carn't get hurt.

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Its like, if you shot a burglar in your house out of selfdefence, you'd probably be done for man slaughter ?! (i may be wrong here, but its rather hard to prove anything afterwards)
Any thoughts anyone ?

- If you are attacked, it really is best to not use a weapon of any sorts. It'll only harm your defence. There are even cases now where people who know a martial art have been attacked and then prosecuted for using their skills to defend themselves a little too well/as they were meant to be used. It's not fair, but it happens.

quote:ah yes, in theory. but in reality it rarely happens. most of the time it's just you and your attacker there. and if the attacker ends up dead and you're standing there with a weapon in your hand, guess who's gonna look suspicious. just like in theory we say a woman's dress or sexual background is not important to whether she was presently assaulted, but it's taken into account all the time. look at the kobe bryant case. did you know that 49 states have rape shield laws that limit the evidentiary use of a survivor's prior sexual history as part of an effort to undermine the credibility of the survivor's testimony (only arizona doesn't have a rape shield law). but it's still used all the time in court cases. justice isn't blind, folks, as much as we want it to be. there's prejudice everywhere.

quote:So true when it comes to weapons, you cannot guarantee that the weapon you produce is not going to be turned against you. I know people who can wrest a staff from an attacker with great ease. Never attack first with a weapon unless you are completely committed and know how to use it to it's full advantage.
