I would suggest taking self defense classes such as the Israeli Krav Maga which teaches one how to disarm anyone.

You haven't been frequenting these discussions much, so let me fill you in on a little factoid that likeminas knows about me: I want the NYC libbies to see me the way you do. I want you guys to hate me and call me names. I do not find it admirable (or even acceptable) to be liked by liberals. You guys are a cancer. Who likes cancer? I hope your view of me is the same way I look at you. I want you people to willingly keep away from me and my family.

My guess is from what you say is that your "family" consists of you and your laptop in a darkened attic
room. And you have accomplished your goal of having me feel the way you want us to not like you or at
least what you and your dangerous attitudes stand for.

Well, at least the burglars didn't get it, when they cleaned out your apartment.

You can talk sh*t all you want. Come step to me at my front door and then we'll have some real talk. I get it that you are a bunch of losers and want to try and kick someone while you're down. Happy 2014, you'll still be a douche in the new year! Only haters hate.

Carry a flip phone, the kind with no possibility of Internet access. If a thug comes near you, hold it up and say, "Want a piece of THIS, Bucko?" You'll see them run screaming from you.

In all seriousness, unless you retain a well connected lawyer, NYC proosecutors will try to label anything a weapon. The "best" defensive tools are items that have some other utility (legally).

My personal favorite is the toolbelt; a bunch of fluff items like a level, tape measure, protractors and scrubby pads, so that your steel pipe wrench or ball peen hammer doesn't stand out quite as much.

You get caught outside your residence with a firearm, knife (fixed or folding), brass knux or a baton in NYC you'll find out real quick just how much the 2nd Amendment has been used like toilet paper in NYC... sad but true.

Section 265.01 Criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree

A person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree when:

(1) He possesses any firearm, electronic dart gun, electronic stun gun, gravity knife, switchblade knife, pilum ballistic knife, metal knuckle knife, cane sword, billy, blackjack, bludgeon, metal knuckles, chuka stick, sand bag, sandclub, wrist-brace type slingshot or slungshot, shirken or “Kung Fu star”; or

(2) He possesses any dagger, dangerous knife, dirk, razor, stiletto, imitation pistol, or any other dangerous or deadly instrument or weapon with intent to use the same unlawfully against another; or

This law is written in such a ridiculously vague way that even a Swiss, Gerber or, Leatherman knife could be considered illegal. It's stupid, this law is so anti-2nd Amendment.
