That makes you almost as much of a tool as Harrison. Stun gun...pepper spray...same effect (getting an attacker away from you) but doesn't make you look like a total jackass. People who carry guns and knives are usually the kinds of people who don't know when to keep their mouths shut or go looking for trouble.

Even if a verbal issue in say, a bar fight scenario, doesn't escalate to physical violence, as soon as your stupid ass pulls out that knife to try to intimidate the guy giving you a hard time he has every right to bash your fucking skull in because you're threatening him with a weapon. Once a weapon is brought into it fight or flight kicks in and someone usually ends up doing something they regret.

A few years ago that exact scenario happened to me. Was in a bar with some friends,one of them saw this chick he went to high school with so they went outside (in a wide open parking lot) to have a smoke and catch up. Time got away from them and the chick's boyfriend flipped out. He and his friends got in my friend's face and started shouting at him (mind you, my friend is a 6'3" martial arts instructor). My other friends saw it and being the idiots they are (and the reason I don't talk to them anymore) one of them pulls out a knife and the other smashes a beer bottle on the counter. So now it's gone from one guy trying to explain exactly what was going on to me and my friend trying to keep these 6 guys from (rightfully) jumping these other 2 idiots who decided to bring weapons into it.

Is it ever worth someone possibly getting killed over a fucking misunderstanding? No, never. Go buy some fucking pepper spray and stop being a fucking idiot.
