Important Considerations Before Carrying a Knife
- Legal Consequences: Using a knife in self-defense, even justifiably, can result in criminal charges. Prosecutors view knives as lethal weapons.
- Training Required: Without proper training, a knife can be taken and used against you.
- Last Resort Only: Pepper spray, stun guns, and personal alarms are safer, more legally defensible options for most situations.
