would you feel safer carrying a weapon if you were out walking alone to try and deter an attacker,or would it be 'safer' to just give a mugger your valuables?maybe it would be better to just bring your phone and call the police if you were mugged!

katt1017: Here's the truth. If you are carrying a weapon to SCARE someone you are a moron. If you have a weapon you need to face the fact that you may have to use it or risk having it used on you.
When at all possible, 99.999999% of the time it is possible, I avoid being anyplace there is great risk. If I cannot avoid the risk and it is a situation where I can legally be armed, I am armed.
If you don't like my answer remember to be more careful about what questions you ask in the future.
You been reading my mail or what? Word for word my answer!

not to discourage anyone from calling 911 in the event of an emergency ...but if someone is physically attacking you the likelihood that you can grab your phone and call is slim. Even if you can it takes time to get that call entered, officers dispatched to and on their way. So yes it is wise to know how to defend yourself against an attacker.
And you shouldn't carry any weapon you don't know how to use and are not comfortable using.

Don't carry a weapon if you are indecisive. If you carry it, you can't hesitate to use it.
lion131: i said maybe it would be better to bring your phone,thus suggesting no weapon.that in itself would suggest non confrontation,so in other words,'play it safe',and hand over the stuff to the criminal,and THEN when you are still in one piece,let the pro's handle it! (the police)
Bet you stood in front of an armed Goon that shot you just for the kicks,and still got what he came for! Sunshine,you're full of it!
Police is after the Fact,NEVER or rarely Proactive,and if they're around,and working toward a Major Bust ,they'll let you hang all the same!

What good is it going to be carrying a phone when a mugger is going to take ALL of your valuables.

Can always beat him to death with the Phone,if the Police is late in arriving!
